Inédito 2O23

OPEN CALL

Participate in the eighth edition of Inédito in Espacio CDMX from October 2023 to February 2024 through the open call for the professional category. Inédito exhibits new proposals for utilitarian design and awards 8 honorable mentions and the Inédito Prize with a value of $80,000 MXN.

Inédito is a catalyst for contemporary design and a representative sample of the current design scene. It is a space where the Mexican community of designers, artisans, workshops, studios and key people in the creative industry can meet, discuss and grow together.

The exhibition shows the work of contemporary designers who explore their fascination with material manifestations and the use of different processes as a creative axis. The exploration between form and function has been a value promoted by Design Week Mexico in its 15 years of foundation.

Each piece poetically manifests the creation of objects that are related to nature and contemporary tradition, promoting manual manufacturing processes in an era of mass and industrial production. The designers materialize their research through contemporary techniques or meticulously re-materializing the vernacular and craft heritage.

The motivation behind each studio shows its connection to the past and its contemporaneity in new settings, where designers, artisans, workshops, students, and key industry players can meet, dialogue, and grow together by presenting their selected pieces to the public at our call. open.
