Silla Mitla is inspired by The Mitla archaeological site in Oaxaca, Mexico, which is one of the most important Zapotec sites in the country. The chair represents the intricate mosaic fretwork of the geometric patterns called grecas. Cast in pigmented red concrete, its geometric form invites interaction; inviting viewers not only to observe but to inhabit the work, transforming a sculptural object into a functional one.
Pedro Reyes (b. 1972, Mexico City) creates projects that turn social and political ideas into playful experiences. From turning guns into instruments to puppet shows debating economics, his work reframes complex subjects in ways that are accessible, participatory, and surprising.
