For Fans of Design

Mexico City, for Fans of Design, is likely the most important urban center in the Americas. The eco-system brought up by its architectural legacy has also long nourished a strident arts community too. But between those two poles, there's a thriving world of industrial design, fashion, interiors, and furniture.

Mexico City's market scene, right in the streets and seemingly in every neighborhood, also influences the way absolutely everything gets bought and sold. And that means that contemporary edgy designs are on sale often right next door to historical and rare works that can't be found anywhere else.

Together, these factors mean that Mexico City teems with young and established designers. They're turning out and drawing in. And their influence extends well into neighborhoods not normally on the tourist circuit.

We've highlighted some of the places you're most likely to encounter the new and the innovative. You'll also find places that honor the time-tested, even after hundreds of years. There may be no going back, but then again, that's what makes inspiration seem so infinite.
