We are unique entities in a world that disavows us – unrepeatable and uneven beings. Yet we live in a society that pressures us to fit into predefined categories, often setting aside our individuality and forgetting our origins. Under this premise, the Enikós collection (from the Greek ἐνικός, meaning “singular”) was born: a set of objects that seeks to celebrate individuality through materials and processes that ensure each piece is one of a kind. The objects, metaphorically invite us to take pride our individual beauty, designed to inspire rituals of contemplation, appreciation, and interaction, fostering a positive shift in their contexts.

​

The conceptual foundation was built through the overlapping of circles, a visual and symbolic gesture that facilitated the development of intriguing patterns later translated into three-dimensional forms.  Material choice played a vital role in shaping the collection’s identity. By working with materials that are inherently unique, the pieces embody a deeper sense of singularity. Among them are tezontle, a porous volcanic rock traditionally used in Mexican construction, and white oak, a richly grained wood prized for its carveability and warmth. The collaboration with skilled Mexican artisans, each a specialist in these materials, elevated the outcome – resulting in pieces that honor and enhance the intrinsic properties of each medium.

 

Enikós was designed for Artelina, a Mexican luxury design brand that collaborates with Mexican designers focusing on the use of local materials and processes.
