Deceres is a Mexico City– and California–based studio that reimagines the sacral and austere into approachable objects for everyday rituals. Monolithic forms, severe lines, and narrow voids — each infused with a quiet sense of religiosity and distilled through the lens of reductionism — create an ode to the tension between stark structure and delicate humanness.
Founded in 2020 by Denise Martinez and Jorge Arturo Ibarra, both rooted in Baja, Deceres grew out of a shared ethos shaped by years spent between Mexico and Southern California. This duality informs not only their outlook and approach to design, but also the physical manifestations of their own introspection.
Through close collaboration with artisans in Mexico and California, every piece is meticulously handcrafted, embracing the uniqueness of material and maker alike. The result is design with purposeful functionality — objects that stand out quietly, enhancing rather than competing with their surroundings.
