Two Pedestal White Marble Side Tables Set

Founded in 2015, Casa Mineral is a Mexican design house that produces contemporary home accessories from marble to create a luxurious and sensory experience. Casa Mineral’s master stone cutters and craftsmen select and hand-tool every piece, using simple forms and lines to accentuate the character of the stone. 

The long history of humans living and working with stone informs the vision of founders Maritza Lara Cáceres and Daniel Cruz Maldonado, who met when they were 17 years old. The company reflects their shared experiences in interior design management and understanding of how to create spaces as sanctuaries for a peaceful and positive life. The pieces imagined by Lara Cáceres and Cruz Maldonado for Casa Mineral are inspired by the natural world, childhood memories of warmth and togetherness and their travels. 

Lara Cáceres is an architect who has been part of the faculty of the School of Architecture at UNAM and the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-Belleville. She is also the former director of Capital Studio, a firm that specializes in interior remodeling. Cruz Maldonado is the former director of Cotidiano, an interior design firm specializing in turnkey projects.

Seeing what design firms and architects like Menu, Karimoku New Standard and Vincent Van Duysen have done in other parts of the world, they turned their eyes towards the incredible talents of Latin America. Lara Cáceres and Cruz Maldonado established a Mexico City design showroom, Casa Quieta, in 2018. It features Casa Mineral products as well as complementary modern furniture and contemporary decorative objects by Latin American designers.

Casa Mineral has been featured in Architectural Digest Mexico, Elle Decoration, Chic Haus and Design Week Mexico.

Casa Quieta is a handmade furniture & accessories gallery that promotes local manufacturing by merging artisan techniques with contemporary design. Our gallery is located in Carlos Dickens 33B, Polanco. We open by appointment only. The gallery concept is to show a fully furnished and accessorized shoppable home where everything can be bought. As opposed to the bustling context of modern metropolis and the busyness of the digital era, we believe in creating everyday sanctuaries that result in places of stillness and refuge. Our selection dynamics operate through an organic curation of our favorite pieces. We seek to show contemporary design only, handmade in Mexico with artisan processes. All the furniture is our own design and for accessories we seek to collaborate with designers that complement and combine with the universe and aesthetics of Casa Quieta. Casa Quieta was founded by Maritza Lara Cáceres and Daniel Cruz Maldonado. Since 2015, they direct Casa Mineral.
