Galería Mexicana de Diseño (GMD) was created by Mexican designer and visionary Carmen Cordera Lascurain in 1990, and for the last 20 years it has been a platform for the promotion and commercialization of contemporary Mexican and international design in all forms, ranging from furniture to textiles, jewelry, graphics, as well as product and architectural design to establish a dialog between design, the audience and the client. To commemorate GMD’s 20th anniversary, they have published a book entitled 20 Years of Design in Mexico that brings together their best exhibitions, the significance of the Gallery, and the leading role it has played in Mexico City. It includes commentaries by renowned designers and communication specialists talking about design in Mexico. In addition, they are also launching a special line of products called 20/20 (perfect vision), selecting the most outstanding and representative expressions of Mexican design through the products of 20 experienced designers and 20 young talents, all for sale at the Gallery and other designated sites.

Relax with a cup of coffee on the modern Coffee Bench. Designed by Karolina Tylka, the Coffee Bench has adjustable pieces to create armrests or a table top within the bench. This is possible from the rotating elements of the bench. It was designed around the idea of having a cup of coffee with no place to rest the cup or newspaper.
The Coffee Bench is produced in Poland. The frame is made from galvanized or stainless steel while the bench can be made in a variety of materials such as plywood, MDF, cellulose, honeycomb cardboard or injection-molded plastic. Essentially, the Coffee Bench is made for outdoor use, but there is a soft cushion of leather or felt for indoor use.
Where do you see yourself relaxing on the Coffee Bench?

Since the Winter season brings a lot of sniffles, why not put tissues on display without sacrificing style? Paper Pots allow you to do just that.
Made of durable ABS, the Paper Pot enables you to store tissues in a fashionable way. As shown below, Paper Pots are available in a variety of bright, glossy colors, or in a matte black. To get creative, the Paper Pots work interchangeably, so you can buy two different colors and switch the tops to have mis-matched pots.
Paper Pots are available at MollaSpace for $40 each, plus shipping. They can also be used for toliet paper, if you aren’t a big tissue person!
