“As an echo to Mexico diversity, we decided to create a rug collection that express the richness & variety of the Mexican birds species. To developed this unique collection we worked with Rubén Tamayo one of the best craftsmen in the north of Mexico, we decide to merge three different materials, cotton, wool and metallic yarn in one piece using different colors for each form created by these materials. To unify the pieces we developed a texture created by three tones , generating vibration of lights and shadows in each color.

Avifauna suggests a new type of rug arrangement, freeing the forms, and letting them go in different directions but at the same time working as a whole. With our new collection we seek new possibilities for textiles traditional technique in Mexico, made by a new generation of craftsmen who are exploring new possibilities in form, texture and color, and more important with a desire to continue the evolution of textile craftsmanship.” Daniel Valero
