rethinking context
RETHINKING THE CONTEXT
Ovalle把设计作为一种调查的方式。城市感的环境作为衬托，凸显了传统样式地毯中的图案，图案中的远方景象成为了代表地方建筑特色的媒介。
México Mágico
México Mágico is the reinterpretation of the magic that exists in the day-to-day life of Mexico City, those random, chaotic and exciting moments that feed Mexican popular culture.
This exhibition is the reflection of this context, the admiration, and surprise of discovering everyday life and reinterpreting it in everyday objects that accompany the lives of people around the world.

Product Design
“魅力墨西哥”重新诠释了墨西哥城日常生活中的魔力。那些随意、混乱和激动人心的时刻都为墨西哥的流行文化注入了活力。本次展览反映了这种背景，发现日常生活中令人钦佩和惊讶之处，并通过人们日常生活中随处可见的生活物品重新诠释生活。
dISEÑO MÁS ALLÁ DE LA IDENTIDAD
Ciudad de México es la sede de una vibrante cultura popular, es el escaparate de los íconos más reconocibles de la mexicanidad, desde Frida Kahlo hasta la Lucha Libre.
Sin embargo, nuevas identidades emergen, transforman y expanden nuestra percepción de lo que reconocemos como mexicano. A través del diseño, éstas nuevas identidades se sintetizan en productos tangibles que moldean y redefinen los estereotipos más arraigados a la cultura mexicana.
En éste eje temático se muestra una selección de diseño original, innovador, inesperado y sobre todo 100% mexicano.
Palabras clave: Innovación, nuevas identidades, diseño glocal, diseño gráfico, diseño de producto, diseño industrial
认知跃界
墨西哥城是充满活力的流行文化之乡，从超现实主义的女画家弗里达·卡罗(Frida Kahlo)到自由奔放的墨西哥式摔跤(Lucha Libre)，你在这里可以找到最具代表性的流行元素。
然而，新的形象认知的出现改变并扩展了我们对墨西哥人的认识。在设计的包装下，这些新的形象认知被融合成有形的产品，帮助塑造和重新定义植根于墨西哥文化中的刻板印象。
这个主题展示了一个原创的、创新，令人意想不到的100%的墨西哥设计。

DESIGN BEYOND IDENTITY
Mexico City is the home of a vibrant popular culture; it is the place where the most recognizable pop icons can be found, from Frida Kahlo to Lucha Libre.
However, new identities emerge, transform and expand our perception of what we recognize as Mexican. Through design, these new identities are synthesized into tangible products that shape and redefine the stereotypes most deeply rooted in Mexican culture.
In this thematic axis, a selection of original, innovative, unexpected, and above all 100% Mexican design is shown.
