Bienal

We had some questions for Bienal, a creative studio based in Yucatán, Mexico that was founded in 2006. Check out what they had to say below. EM: How does the design culture in Yucatán compare to other parts of Mexico? B: Design in Yucatán is a mixture; a cultural blend of many ideas and concepts of Mayan origins, European influence and a pinch of Caribbean. We have ‘sisters cities’ such as La Havana in Cuba and New Orleans in The United States. Our gastronomy, architecture and traditions have made us very independent with a very strong differentiation, we are like a country inside a country. We believe that by simply being aware of our roots we have been able to grow creatively and have been able to do different things in design.
