For all those Euro and US-centrics out there, guess what? The Mexican lighting design scene is alive and kicking. This issue we have invited Magali Mendez, a young, upcoming designer from Mexico City and director of her own company, Sáas Lighting, to take over the back page with her inspirations. After collaborating on an event together early this year in (non-other than) Luis Barragan’s House, this is everything we expected from her and then some! Colourful, stylish and full of cultural references... enjoy.
