Mesa de Oro

Collection of Artefacts Designed and Produced by Laura Hoyos
at the Royal College of Art, London, 2024
By navigating Laura’s memory, her colombian heritage and doing ethnographic research on others’ stories, the project Mesa de Oro results in a series of artefacts that evoke visual curiosity, encouraging people to gather, often around a dinner table, to exchange, share, and explore togetherness. Tomato cups, a gathering vest, an arepa holder, and more.
