Joel Escalona is one of Mexico’s most promising industrial designers. Not one to shy away from bold and daring initiatives, Joel’s attitude towards the rug project was enthusiastic from the start!
Wallpaper* Magazine calls him: : “one of the top of the next wave of creative talent worldwide”.
Often featured at the ICFF and has participated in numerous design fairs such as Maison & Objet as well as the Museum of Modern Art, Mexico City.
Renata Becerril, Curator of the exhibition at the Franz Mayer Museum, where Joel’s “Fragmentos” is included:
Familiar elements in non-conventional and unexpected uses promote reflection and observation of what surrounds us. When designing his rug, Joel Escalona alludes to venetian mosaics often used as a wall or surface covering and a graphical element of decor. In this particular case, the element is soft and covers the floor. This is a graphical compositions that reclaims the unity of mosaics in the form of discrete pixels…..
Odabashian is currently developing other color and pixel variations with Mr. Escalona in order to offer a full-range of variants to this very successful design.
