MeetDanielValero
Artist & designer
Daniel Valero (b. 1988) is a Mexican architect and designer, and is the founder of Mestiz in 2015 with the aim to create distinctive pieces with a strong regional identity. His work is an examination of the symbiotic collaboration between designer and craftsman— intentionally blurring the line between both disciplines. He has been recognized with the National Furniture Award in 2014 in Mexico by Dimueble, and with the National Scholarship for Apply Arts in 2016 by FONCA to study the specialty of Textile Design at the École supérieure des Arts décoratifs in Paris.
