Arrebol Escalonado by Studioroca. Dimensions: 18 x 18 x 30.5 cm. Materials: volcanics rocks essential oils diffuser. Studioroca is a Mexico City design studio focused on architecture, interior design and contemporary furniture. Its penchant for collaboration, the promotion of local talent, artisanal skills and natural materials, and its ever-present pull toward sustainable practices have seen the studio create highly emotive environments and unique functional pieces that speak of a forward-thinking, borderless approach to design. Intro Through architecture, interior design and furniture, STUDIOROCA portrays a distinct Mexican aesthetic, where sophisticated, elegant designs become bold statements of strong masculine lines and dark moody shades that contrast dramatically with elongated curves and highly textured surfaces. Based in Mexico City, the studio has, since its inception, offered much more than simple design solutions, its impetus always being to meaningfully improve lives through design. By promoting, supporting and offering a platform for other Mexican designers in its two stores in Polanco and Condesa, STUDIOROCA has been at the forefront of the modern-day Mexican design movement for over 15 years. The studio’s ability to artfully blend its own architecture and interior design with both local and international product is testament to its glocal outlook. While proudly Mexican and inherently influenced by the country’s culture and craftsmanship, its designs talk to a cosmopolitan, international sense of style. STUDIOROCA’s respect for the environment and reverence of traditional skills has led to the pursuit of sustainable practices, while its affinity for collaboration and promotion of artisanal skills has seen the studio produce work in conjunction with countless talented designers and craftspeople. Its confidently utilitarian designs are the result of risk-taking, boundary-pushing processes that emerge from STUDIOROCA’s constant quest to establish innovative solutions, while simultaneously respecting each of its projects’ unique locations, incorporating the surrounding environment into the design language. Working closely with clients, a personal rapport ensures delving into the core of every design requirement, leading to the ultimate achievement of deeply embedded needs. Ultimately, what STUDIOROCA presents is a fresh iteration of Mexican design, a version which is at once moving, intoxicating and comforting. History STUDIOROCA was founded by Carlos Acosta and Rodrigo Alegre. When, in 2002, the two independent Mexico City architects were commissioned to work collaboratively on the architecture and interiors of a new spa, they were frustrated by the lack of affordable furniture available, and embarked on designing their own pieces for the project. And so STUDIOROCA was born. Initially a furniture store in the heart of the then up-and-coming leafy suburb of Condesa, it has developed into a fully fledged architecture and interior-design studio, with another store in the city’s high-end design district of Polanco, which opened in 2011. Its line of furniture, all designed and manufactured in Mexico, had humble production beginnings in a small kitchen-design factory, a foundation that has carried through into the studio’s current philosophy of small-scale, high-quality production. In conjunction with its own range of functional pieces, STUDIOROCA has always invited other local designers to showcase their work in its two stores, and, what started with three additional designers’ pieces in 2002, has led to collaborations with many more, now presenting the limited-edition work of 28 Mexican designers through its UNION- brand, while continuing to retail exclusive international brands such as Tom Dixon, Moooi and GAN. 2 More recently, the studio’s architectural and interior projects have included large housing developments and hotels, fully employing STUDIOROCA’s 360-degree approach to design. Founders and team Architects by training, founders Carlos Acosta and Rodrigo Alegre prefer to follow an unconventional, integrated model of design that incorporates its many varied facets, allowing their two unique approaches to complement one another. Rodrigo, who graduated from Universidad Anáhuac Norte, is able to envision how color and texture will combine as he explores the emotive nuances he wishes to create within a new environment. His abstract thoughts are brought to life by Carlos, the rational half of the design duo. Trained at Universidad Iberoamericana, with a student exchange to the University of Texas, Carlos’ ability to grasp volumes and spaces brings dreams to fruition through the perfect positioning of wall divisions, furniture pieces and light-streaming windows. Their small dedicated team of designers and architects plays an integral role in realizing the studio’s ambitious visions, with over 200 projects having been completed by this intimate team. Beyond designing, these passionate professionals offer practical solutions, bringing their experience in all forms of design to manifest in big-picture thinking that pays attention to detail, celebrates collaboration and goes the extra mile. The approachable, personal style with which the STUDIOROCA team works is a reflection on the responsibility its people place on themselves as architects and designers who venture beyond the drawing board. Sustainability STUDIOROCA’s focus on sustainability has seen the company establish itself as a trailblazer in the realization of buildings and furniture pieces that are produced with a sense of conscience and responsibility, taking into account the full production chain, from material source to distribution of wealth. The studio has done away with environmentally harmful varnishes on its furniture pieces, and now only use FSC-certified hardwood. It also pledges to keep materials to a minimum, a consideration most appreciated in its 77 range of furniture, where only the necessary functional structures have been designed, and where small leftover pieces of wood from bigger cuts are utilized, rather than sourcing new pieces. This approach continues in its architecture and interior designs, with 80% of materials sourced locally. This, coupled with its use of solar panels, the harvesting of rainwater, and the inclusion of indigenous gardens in its projects, has led to STUDIOROCA’s application for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, which is currently under review. For the studio, sustainability has a much further reach than the natural environment, however. Its projects take into account social, cultural and economic sustainability too, by ensuring its production chain – from the craftspeople producing hand-worked elements, to its low-environmental-impact manufacturing line – all sits within Mexico so that the 3 communities benefiting financially are those who have been an integral part of the process. Architecture In STUDIOROCA’s architectural projects, authentic materials that are true to their Mexican origin, such as local mountain rocks, regional marble and indigenous wood, are utilized in new ways to highlight their natural rawness, deep texture and prized imperfections, imbuing buildings with unique character. It’s through such character that every structure portrays its personality, suited to the people who live, work and relax within it. This unpretentious use of materials follows through to metals, which are encouraged to rust and patinate as the building interacts with nature’s elements and becomes part of the environment surrounding it, giving projects an essential sense of place, where the here and now is as important as the then and there. Interior design STUDIOROCA’s interior style leans toward textured materials and dark hues contrasted with paler wood and lighter accent tones. These evocative, luxurious interiors are enlivened by carefully considered lighting that enhances the tonality of moody dark browns, deep blues and a spectrum of blacks, and highlights textures through illuminated reflections. Where environments dictate a paler palette, textures and materials make up the necessary contrast. Local willow wood on wall panels, flooring made from recinto volcanic rock, and countertops decorated with Mexico’s retapado marble become talking points, made even more appealing with plant life and greenery introduced indoors. Furniture Combining its deep respect for handcrafted, artisanal product, and its future-forward approach to technology and innovation, STUDIOROCA’s range of furniture places emphasis on high-quality offerings, producing its ranges in low quantities, often customized to suit the specific requirements of its varied projects. Veering away from industrialized production lines, it employs sophisticated hand-worked machinery, in line with its approach to sustainability and simplicity. The studio’s premiere collection (2002-2008) was shaped by a groundbreaking application of materials and forms, resulting in award-winning designs that set contemporary Mexican design on the map. Pieces from this collection were shown at Fabrica Mexicana and Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City and in the MoMA store in New York. The 2008 Eco collection initiated a change in the production of STUDIOROCA’s furniture pieces, adapting a sustainable view regarding design – a philosophy that continues to guide the studio’s practices today. Sourcing FSC-certified wood, eliminating varnishes, and using local materials wherever possible, this collection was the start of a conscious undertaking to work with local artisans and support local industry, an outlook that was celebrated at the launch of the Eco range at the Mexican Gallery...
