Discover How SIJIL is Bringing Mexican Art and Design Talent to the Global Stage
Art and design not only enrich our daily lives but also serve as engines of creativity and innovation. Various studies have shown that exposure to art can have a significant emotional impact, fostering well-being and stimulating creativity in multiple aspects of our lives. In this context, SIJIL, a prominent art, architecture, and design studio based in the Mayan Riviera region, has distinguished itself by its ability to integrate cultural heritage with contemporary innovations, creating unique and memorable experiences.
Carlos Morales and Rigoberto Orozco, with successful backgrounds in luxury hospitality and design respectively, combined their talents to create a studio that reflects the rich cultural tapestry of their country. The name "Sijil," which means "birth" in Mayan, encapsulates the studio's mission to generate new experiences that honor and respect the region's cultural roots while delivering elevated projects to their select clients.
Their approach to design goes beyond the merely visual, incorporating elements that stimulate all the senses. They believe that matter can contain "the soul," and their goal is to create spaces that can be lived, touched, smelled, heard, and tasted. This approach is evident in their hospitality projects, where they seek to create environments that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also emotionally resonant. Each project is treated as a "living sculpture," designed to provoke deep interaction with those who experience it.
International Recognition: DNA Paris Design Award
SIJIL is widely known for its international recognition which was further solidified with the attainment of the DNA Paris Design Award, a prestigious accolade that has marked a milestone in their journey. This award, granted to studios and designers who demonstrate excellence in design and creativity, has significantly expanded Sijil's visibility on the global stage. The DNA Paris Design Award has been particularly meaningful for SIJIL, recognizing projects like Casa Caracol, a work that captures the essence of Mexico through an innovative design language. Casa Caracol is not only a showcase of the studio's technical and aesthetic prowess but also an example of how art and design can be powerful tools for reinterpreting and revitalizing cultural heritage.
The studio plans to continue developing projects that blend art, architecture, and design. Their long-term vision includes collaborations with galleries and promoting Mexican artists, thereby strengthening the cultural impact of their work. Additionally, they aim to promote the Mexican Caribbean as a premier destination for conscious real estate investments, highlighting the region's natural and cultural beauty.
