Description
Tlakitl (from the Nahuatl word meaning furniture) is an exercise in Speculative Design that re-imagines history and creates a dialogue between a non-existent past and the present, it begins by asking a bold question: What if Christopher Columbus never made it to America? From this question, I provide three answers from three different voices of fictional established designers and artists exemplative of modern and contemporary Aztec design.
