A city that stays with you.
Some trips leave you with a camera roll. This one left us with a whole new way of looking. Come along with us.
In 2025, we took Dunes to Ciudad de México for a journey through architecture, design and the people behind the pieces. Each stop brought a different point of view. Together, they made a compelling case for staying curious.
First, let the architecture speak.
Casa Barragán gave us a reason to slow down and consider how a room holds light, how a color changes a mood, and how a simple transition can make you pause. That became a thread throughout the trip: looking beyond individual pieces and paying attention to the spaces around them.
The energy of Design Week.
Our attention moved from architecture to objects, from a room as a whole to a material, a silhouette, or a detail we wanted to remember. What would we use in a project? What challenged our usual preferences? Which piece made us look twice? Those are the conversations we love bringing back to Dunes.
Follow the design trail.
At &Jacob, our attention turned to the smaller scale: objects, details, and the way a piece can carry its own personality. Maison Céleste prompted conversations about how individual pieces sit together—what creates harmony, what introduces a little tension, and what makes a setting feel personal.
MASA Galería invited us to spend time with form and presence, without immediately assigning every piece a practical role. Esrawe brought us back to proportion, materials, and the relationship between a piece and its surroundings.
At EWE, we continued that conversation through texture and sculptural form. Hiperlocalidad added another perspective, expanding our reference points and the possibilities we could carry into future projects.
What we brought home.
Traveling together gave us something a catalogue cannot: a shared frame of reference. Architecture and objects. Quiet rooms and saturated color. Group pictures, small details, and those early morning skies.
Our Ciudad de México 2025 journey reminded us why discovery matters to Dunes. The more thoughtfully we look, the more possibilities we have to share. And the best part? There is always another door to open.
Until the next journey,

SALONE DEL MOBILE / APRIL 2024
Salone del Mobile
A curated journey through Italian art, architecture and design, with private manufacturer meetings and a visit to Salone del Mobile in Milan.
Explore the Italian journey
A love of Italian style has always been a north star for Dunes. In April 2024, that perspective shaped a five-star, curated tour of Italy focused on art, architecture and design.
The journey brought industry professionals closer to the country’s creative world, with private meetings with leading furniture manufacturers and a visit to Salone del Mobile in Milan.
It was an invitation to experience Italian design in context: to connect the pieces with their makers, and to see how a broader appreciation for art and architecture informs the way we furnish a space.
Beyond the design itinerary, five-star hospitality framed a journey created for industry professionals with a shared appreciation for Italian style.
