“Not everything is as it seems, and not everything that seems is. Between being and seeming there is always a point of agreement, as if being and seeming were two inclined planes that converge and become one. There is a slope and the possibility of sliding down that slope, and when that happens, one reaches a point at which being and seeming meet.” Jose Saramago
With each edition, at Maison Diez Company we seek to escape from the conventional and the easily expected. Our Maison goes beyond a house, a building, a modern venue, or a historical piece of architecture, and becomes a space where time stops and emotions flow. A subjective and ever-changing territory as dynamic as the world around us, as fast evolving as technology, and as unexpected as life itself.
This year’s edition of Maison Diez is uniquely located at what used to be an old gym in Colonia San Miguel Chapultepec – past, present, and future converge in this place. This is the result of the collective work by a group of more than 50 lighting designers from around the world. Designers who are not just leaders in the lighting sector but pioneers in the use of the most advanced lighting technologies on the market.
At Maison Diez Company we make our goal to bring to Mexico the best lighting design in the world. We are creators of lighting content and passionate lovers of the lighting sector – an industry in constant change and growth!
With this new edition, we give a nod to the future, from a modern and clear perspective, landing in a diaphanous space, with a brand-led intervention on each island. Each mini-stage becomes a mini-world in its own right and delivers a unique opportunity to fantasize and experiment with light.
The addition to this Maison Diez Company is a new section within the installations that we have called Diez Archive: a journey over 90 years of design spanning from 1932 to 2022.
