Emiliano Sánchez and Lucía Hernández are product designers at Tecnológico de Monterrey, about to graduate and committed to exploring functionality and aesthetics from unique perspectives. Emiliano focuses on identifying design patterns in everyday local life, while Lucía is interested in developing narratives aimed at evoking a poetic sense in objects. Since 2024, they have been working together to propose solutions that engage both with cultural identity and global innovation.
One of their most recent collaborations is the Credenza Chicha, a piece inspired by the snack carts selling chips and pork rinds in parks and schools. This work is part of the Ecos de la Calle collection, which pays tribute to the street vendor vehicles of Mexico City, highlighting their social, cultural, and gastronomic relevance in urban life.
Ecos de la Calle also includes other pieces inspired by the tamale tricycle and the sweet potato cart—icons of the "chilango" imagination that blend sophistication, simplicity, and dynamism. These creations reinterpret these essential objects into furniture that captures the essence of life in Mexico's capital city.
