Designer
Michael van Beuren, a prodigy of the German Bauhaus school, revolutionized the modern art scene in Mexico by incorporating traditional Mexican materials like rope, tule, and backstrap weaving into his designs. His furniture became a symbol of modernity and was used to furnish the Nonoalco Tlatelolco Urban Complex, a beacon of modernity in Mexico during the 1960s. Van Beuren's designs promoted practical, affordable, and modern simplicity over European tradition, leaving a lasting influence on the Mexican art and design landscape.
