The Garnacha collection is a tribute to Mexican street food and the rich cultural practice of eating tacos in public spaces. This everyday ritual brings people together through taste, smell, sound, and touch. Eating at an improvised food stand is a familiar experience shared by people from all walks of life in Mexico. It reflects a deep sense of community, identity, and connection through our most instinctive senses.

 

Based on field research and sensorial exploration, the collection distills this experience into four key stages: Captivate, Contain, Prepare, and Consume. Each moment is embodied in a designed object—an incense holder, a piggy bank, a sauce container, and a plate—echoing the tools found at food stands and the rhythm of the eating process itself. By translating these sensory triggers into objects, the project seeks to evoke emotions that are widely felt, offering a shared language that crosses cultural and social divides.

 

Garnacha is a collaborative project by Colectivo Caravana, a design collective that embraces co-creation through a horizontal practice, shifting the focus away from individual authorship and toward collective expression.
