The first monograph showcasing the vibrant and contemporary interior designs of the Mexico-based studio Cuaik. Cuaik’s interior designs are characterized by clean lines, neutral palettes, and abundant natural light. Their spaces often incorporate custom-made furniture and artworks, textured materials, and vibrant, strategically placed accents. Emphasizing functionality and aesthetic harmony, Cuaik blends contemporary design with local cultural elements, creating environments that are both elegant and inviting. Superbly photographed for the first time, this volume features a fine combination of residential and commercial spaces located across Mexico, Spain, and the US. Each project encompasses the architectural design of the space and the production of customized in-house furniture and art. In addition, this book highlights the exceptional design curation and transformation of spaces to showcase top-notch furniture and renowned artists’ pieces. By revisiting projects situated in Mexico City, the book offers valuable insights into the evolution of spaces over time with the aim of analyzing the enduring transformations experienced by these spaces. The resulting interiors feel welcoming and are spaces that bring people together: rooms in which to eat, live, and spend time with loved ones. Ten years since its founding, Cuaik is marking its debut at an international level with this publication, showcasing their innovative approach to interior design.
