A dynamic space in the heart of Mexico City, the Ezequiel Farca Studio is flooded with color, natural light, and design inspiration. The office is located on the second and third floor of the renowned Ezequiel Farca showroom in Polanco, surrounding the design staff with the company’s broad array of designed objects, projects, and furniture pieces.
The studio’s location enables clients to visit a spot where they can see, feel and touch different materials and furniture pieces, as well as work on their own unique projects with the design team upstairs.
The studio aesthetic is clean, linear and bright, punctuated on one end by a well-tailored planter box along a glass curtainwall. A series of bookshelves, populated by inspirational magazines, materials, and design books hide the office’s necessary storage areas.
The office utilizes a minimal material palette of marble, stainless steel, wood, Corian, and glass. Workstations—laid out along three continuous shared tables—encourage collaboration. The office lighting is linear and white, and the combination of artificial and generous natural lighting brings out the colors and variety of textures in the space. The glass curtainwall allows designers to feel that although they are working inside of an office, they are still in contact with the exterior. Furnishings are simple and practical, allowing for maximum collaboration between team members. Emulating the studio’s philosophy of integrated design, there are no walls separating architects from interior designers, industrial designers, graphic designers, or from Ezequiel Farca, the studio’s creative director.
