On view at the MillerKnoll Archives Silo and now at Maharam’s NYC showroom during NYCxDESIGN, “Objetos de Hojalata para el Hogar” highlights the traditional Mexican craft of hojalatería in a contemporary context. The show marks the culmination of a workshop with Cranbrook Academy of Art students led by Leon Ransmeier and Fabien Cappello, alongside an inspiration-gathering visit to the MillerKnoll Archives. Working with thin sheets of steel, students practiced hojalatería to produce functional, everyday objects that celebrate a timeless craft.
