We research, curate and share important design objects.
Research
From forgotten fragments and apocryphal stories, txt.ure traces the little-known histories of both pre-Hispanic and 20th-century Mexican design, to present new works grounded in craftsmanship and regional techniques.
Curate
Founded by the former director of Archivo Diseño y Arquitectura in Mexico City, txt.ure is a curation-based endeavor that draws on Mexican popular design history, reintroducing forgotten masterworks and vernacular classics.
Community
txt.ure creates a link between our past and the spaces in which we live now.
The preservation and evolution of endangered manufacturing techniques is at the core of the brand, through which we empower local communities
and craftspeople.
txt.ure is a collaborative design project highlighting the unique functional, historical, and aesthetic qualities of Mexican folk furniture and design.
At txt.ure, we promote history as a living endeavor, by encouraging experimentation and innovation among Mexican designers, while also preserving regional techniques and materials specific to Mexico.
txt.ure continues to develop, listen, and refine a social interaction methodology with the artisans and communities with whom we collaborate. For txt.ure, to be a design practice is to approach design itself as a vehicle for social transformation.
txt.ure was founded in 2015 by Regina Pozo, a curator and former director of Archivo Diseño y Arquitectura
FOUNDER
Regina Pozo is an independent curator and design advisor who served from 2008-2015 as Director and Curator-in-Chief of the influential Archivo Diseño y Arquitectura. The private foundation was devoted to collecting, exhibiting, and reconsidering design in its various forms, establishing itself as a unique and pioneering institution in Mexico, and as a reference for the larger architecture and design community. Through research and deliberate acquisition, the collection grew under Regina’s stewardship to more than 3,000 vernacular objects with a rich program of exhibitions and community activities.
Regina holds a B.A. in Art History from Universidad Iberoamericana and a M.A. in Art History with a specialization in Curatorial Studies from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
