Located in Mexico, Taller Batán specialises in crafting a diverse range of multidisciplinary objects, each possessing a distinctive and expressive aesthetic that narrates a deeply personal story. Taller Batán thrives at the intersection of art, design, and craft, where the boundaries blur and creative possibilities expand. Batán, the birthplace and residence of most of our team, as well as the primary source of our wood, is comprised of two sister localities. A deeply personal piece, the story behind this capulín tree is very emotional. Before embarking on the journey that would become Taller Batán, we stumbled upon a dead capulín tree, a wood species native to the Mexican valley and a part of the diet of the prehispanic peoples This tree had fallen victim to a lightning strike, engulfing it in flames that persisted for days before we discovered it. Crafting a sculpture from this tree, preserving its charred blackness as a symbol of the lightning strike, felt like a profound and predestined work - a symbol of the direction we were meant to take with our project.
