Unveiling the Unique Collaboration of Sublime Studios and M A R M O R E O at ZⓈONAMACO 2024

Sublime Studios designs ‘Celestial 7’, sculptural chairs in collaboration with M A R M O R E O made exclusively for Maison Celeste during the ZⓈONAMACO Art Week 2024 in Mexico City.

 

Mexico Art Week 2024 provided a dynamic international stage for contemporary art and design. 


Amidst this vibrant celebration, Sublime Studios unveiled "Celestial 7", a pair of handcrafted Santo marble chairs, designed exclusively for Maison Celeste and produced in collaboration with MARMOREO. 


Building upon the conceptual foundation of the Yin/Yang Lounges, Celestial 7 explores the delicate balance between contrast and harmony in sculptural form.


A global platform for artistic innovation.

Since its inception in 2003, Mexico Art Week has evolved into a city-wide phenomenon, transforming galleries, hotels, restaurants, and public spaces into immersive showcases of cutting-edge art and design. 

 

This year, Maison Celeste, a newly opened hotel-meets-gallery, presented an exclusive exhibition highlighting boundary-pushing works that redefine the intersection of function and sculpture.


The collaboration: Sublime Studios x MARMOREO x Maison Celeste

This collaboration was shaped by the vision of Maison Celeste curators Jose Banuelos and Jose Esperon, who recognized the synergy between Sublime Studios and MARMOREO. 

Sharing a deep appreciation for sculptural form, material authenticity, and artistic storytelling, the studios seamlessly converged in their creative process.


Featured in “Reflejos Ocultos” Exhibition.


“Reflejos Ocultos” (“Hidden Reflections”) is a curated exploration of light, materiality, and form. The Celestial 7 chairs embody this theme, celebrating the inherent beauty of raw stone and the way it interacts with its surroundings.

 

Design Philosophy & Materiality

Raw Stone Materiality – Each chair preserves the natural veining and organic imperfections of Santo marble, emphasizing the authenticity of its geological origins.

Sculptural Yet Functional – Designed to be both a functional furniture piece and a monolithic work of art.


Minimalist Brutalism – A monolithic aesthetic that speaks to the purity of form and material.


Outdoor Courtyard Placement – Set within Maison Celeste’s serene courtyard, the chairs invite guests to reflect and engage with the surrounding environment.


An invitation to experience Celestial 7 here. 


As Mexico Art Week 2024 continues to celebrate innovation in contemporary art and design, Celestial 7 stands as a testament to the transformative power of collaboration. 


Visitors to Maison Celeste are invited to engage with the work—where sculptural elegance meets functional artistry, and raw materials tell a story of balance and contrast.
