Costra de Tierra, Large-Scale Handcrafted Bowl in Mexican Onyx

MERCANTIL (meaning "trade" in Spanish) is a design studio and sourcing atelier that connects luxury spaces with the most exceptional artisan-made furniture, art, and objects from across Latin America. With roots in Mexico, we collaborate with an exclusive network of over 450 skilled makers to deliver one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces that celebrate cultural richness, material integrity, and timeless beauty. Our curated collections include sculptural furnishings, custom lighting, ceramics, textiles, and accessories—each selected or commissioned for its soul, story, and sense of place. From carved wood consoles in Oaxaca to handwoven macramé from the Yucatán, every piece is made with intention and built to last. Founded by designer Hillary Kent, MERCANTIL works closely with interior designers, architects, and hospitality brands across the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean—designing for villas, five-star hotels, yachts, and residences that seek originality and depth. Welcome to our world of layered, intentional, and quietly bold design.
