Panorammma

Panorammma is a Mexican design studio directed by Maika Palazuelos, producing furniture, lighting and objects that sit between collectible design and everyday use. Its poetics move between disciplines while focusing on the pathology of the concrete, the alienation of daily life and the space abstraction occupies socially.

The studio draws on past visions of the future, creating what it calls pseudo-props: pieces that open fissures through which fantasy spills into reality. Rather than museum objects, they are made to be lived with and activated by their user, so that objects shape behaviour and are in turn shaped by it. Collections include Chainmail chairs and chandeliers, Fisherman tables, Hero and Bubble Glass lamps, the Wax Clock and Conjoined Mirrors; the studio is represented in Milan, Antwerp, Geneva, Paris and New York.
