We’re so excited for 2016 and have some amazing new products coming your way. As we wrap up 2015, we’re ending the year with some mind-altering, sci-fi meets art deco architecture from Bolivian mastermind, Freddy Mamani Silvestre. He’s single-handedly redesigning the visual landscape of El Alto, known as the highest city in the world. And, he’s doing it without the aid of a computer. Using a wall as a sketch pad, or simply verbally dictating his ideas to his workers, Silvestre creates his futuristic compounds which weave his Aymara heritage into the core. Motifs inspired by Aymara weavings and ceramics, as well as Andean Temples, are part of his design vernacular, in addition to sci-fi films, especially the Transformer series. View more of his work here and here.
