La Mari Chair pays tribute to Curiel’s Mexican heritage. As a first-generation Mexican American with immigrant parents from Jalisco, Mexico, Curiel was influenced by the 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 Curiel’s heart. The name “Mari” is a nod to the mariachi culture that shaped her upbringing and serves as a reminder of the vibrancy of regional Mexican traditions.
