DESIGNER
tributo is a design practice founded by laura and gabriela noriega in jalisco, mexico in 2013. the studio connects contemporary designers with traditional artisan communities across mexico, using design as a way to keep cultural traditions and local economies alive.
tributo works directly with master artisans to explore new materials, refine techniques, and ensure craft knowledge passes from one generation to the next. each collaboration celebrates the handmade process and honors the stories and heritage embedded in regional craft traditions.
the studio sees design not just as creating objects, but as building relationships that sustain both the artisans' livelihoods and the cultural value of their work. every piece carries forward the skills, traditions, and narratives of the communities where it's made.
