Mexico, designed by Studio Job, is a skull-like design object with a graphic pattern on the surface, functioning both as a planter and champagne cooler. Reminding of the traditional painted skulls from the homonymous country, Mexico is a whimsical reminder of the cyclicality of our presence on Earth, to exorcise death and celebrate life. Perfect for lounge areas, dining rooms and outdoors spaces.

Scary stuff, Mexico! is the name of a massive hit of a Singer called ‘Zangeres zonder naam’ (‘Singer with no name’). She was very well known in the Low Countries and used to live in the village of Stramproy, not far from where we lived. So, when I was a little boy i sometimes passed by her villa trying to get a glimpse. But her velvet curtains were always closed. Unfortunately, she died in the nineties.
