Habitable experiment in collaboration with Arq. Gerónimo de la Lama, creator of Xux, an artisan and biodegradable product, made by hand from 100% organic plant materials and electricity-free processes.
Both the Yucatecan agave and the rubber tree were domesticated by the Mayans long before the arrival of the Spanish; they are ancestral riches of the Mexican southeast and wild witnesses of our past. Through play and by accident, like so many great discoveries, GDLL found the power that these elements had together. The mixture is a new material that we call xux, with which we mold all kinds of unique and sustainable objects by hand.
