La Mari Chair is a piece that pays tribute to
Monica Curiel’s Mexican heritage. As a first-generation Mexican American with immigrant parents from Jalisco, Mexico, Monica was deeply influenced by the rich cultural traditions of her ancestors. The chair’s accents are inspired by the iconic vestments worn by mariachi musicians, a style of music that originated in Jalisco and holds a special place in Monica’s heart.
The name Mari is a nod to the mariachi culture that played a pivotal role in her upbringing, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and vibrancy of regional Mexican traditions.
