The vibrant, unexpected and surreal nature of the Mexican character inspired the furniture collection “Los Enmascarados”, reflecting iconic Mexican masks. The Doubleface is one of the five pieces of the collection, his mask represents the battle between good and evil. The left side of the piece represents the good face, it seems normal, with its feet properly on the ground and its drawers facing the right way. The right side is the evil face, its feet are sticking dangerously up in the air and it has its unexpected evil drawer, you don’t really know what will happen when you open it.

Ana JP Design focuses on bespoke conceptual furniture full of unexpected surreal shapes, bold colours and humour. The pieces are conceived as large and dominant, providing an inspiring centrepiece for a space to be built around. All our pieces can also be scaled and offered as miniature decorative and functional objects — such as jewellery boxes. The studio works primarily with computer generated files and CNC router cutting machines in order to obtain bold outlines without undesired joint lines.

A studio which focuses on bespoke conceptual furniture inspired by cultural heritage. The work is full of unexpected surreal shapes, bold colour and humour which reflects the studios characters. Living in London as foreigners helps analyse culture as an outsider, giving a fresh perspective of where we each come from. Specifically, in this collection “Los Enmascarados¨ The influence was a rich tradition of Mexican masks and the humorous characters they portray - often worn to disguise the real problems in this country. The intention was to get a deeper understanding of what it means to be Mexican and to translate this into a contemporary object. This collection challenges, and then bridges, perceptions of traditional extravagant Mexican cultures, with the contemporary reality of a modern, vibrant and powerful economy.  The pieces are usually large and dominant - a reference to the larger living spaces our countries of origin - and are designed to provide a centrepiece from which a space can be inspired by and built around. The studio works a lot with computer generated files and CNC router cutting machines in order to obtain the bold outlines of the designs without having the undesired joint lines.
