An agave plant is little more than a future shot of tequila, a corn stalk the raw material for a warm tortilla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the Mexican designer Fernando Laposse engineers those things into the stuff of luxury furniture. Corn husks and avocado skins are diced, pressed and turned into veneers that serve as textured tabletops and wall paneling. Agave leaves are shredded into furry fibers that transform sofas and benches into playful, zoomorphic objects that invite comfy sitting \u2014 and maybe a little petting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Laposse develops these products with a specific aim in mind: creating new markets for small-scale farmers in rural areas of the country whose operations have been squeezed out by agribusiness. Family farms are disappearing in Mexico and local economies are suffering, he said, and people in his profession can offer creative solutions to counter that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe philosophy of what I do in the studio is work directly with farmers, and with this environment, and find a way that design can be the motor for something else,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Laposse, who lives in Mexico City and has a degree in design from Central Saint Martins college in London, came to this conclusion rather suddenly a decade ago, he said. He was experimenting with the corn husk idea during an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/casa.oaxaca.gob.mx\/wp\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">artist residency in Oaxaca<\/a> and wanted to work with the best varieties grown in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He knew just where to find them: Santo Domingo Tonahuixtla, a remote village located in the rolling hills of the southern state of Puebla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Growing up in the \u201990s, Mr. Laposse spent long vacations in Tonahuixtla and he held fond memories of those times, working, playing, chasing insects and hunting rabbits in abundant fields of heirloom corn that were cultivated by a thriving community of Indigenous Mixtec farmers. Their crops grew tall \u2014 in shades of creamy yellow, brick red and pinkish brown \u2014 until they were harvested and sent to market. \u201cI would go there every year as a child,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was my summer camp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But a return trip to Tonahuixtla, in 2015, showed him how much things had changed. Many corn producers were out of business, the result of government and global trade policies that favored factory farms in the north. Entire families had left the area, many migrating to the United States. \u201cIt was a ghost town,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was devastating to see just how empty the whole place was.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He made a quick decision that changed the course of his career. He would turn his fledgling design idea into a business that provided work for the farmers that remained. \u201cI realized I needed to create a whole new system for them,\u201d he said. \u201cA sort of micro-economy that no longer existed there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Totomoxtle, as the veneer is commercially named, was the first of several agricultural-based products he has gone on to develop and sell internationally, often through the Manhattan gallery <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=Friedman+Benda&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Friedman Benda<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Laposse mainly works out of a small manufacturing facility he opened last November in Guerrero, a downtown Mexico City neighborhood known for its mix of working-class apartment buildings and light industrial shops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He has about 10 full-time employees who fabricate the company\u2019s products with traditional tools, like mallets and table saws, but also high-tech lasers that cut husks into pieces, which are lined up and attached to a paper backing \u2014 similar to the process used for more common wood veneers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another facility is in Tonahuixtla, where a handful of families maintains their fields.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Laposse keeps his production volume low so that the farmers can pursue the traditional <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">milpa<\/em> farming method \u2014 growing corn, beans and squash alongside one another \u2014 which organically preserves nitrogen in the soil, maintaining its fertility long-term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou have to allow the farmers to take their time to do it like they have always been doing it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The farmers also help produce the veneer panels in off-seasons, and more recently, they have been cultivating new strains of corn in unique shades, leading to new editions of Totomoxtle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI really see this as a proper collaboration now, a 50-50 thing,\u201d Mr. Laposse said. \u201cI can bring the design skills but I don\u2019t know how to cross-pollinate two plants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His work with agave is also rooted in land management.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Soil erosion has become an increasing problem in Mexico over the past two decades, as agrochemicals have replaced the milpa farming methods, depleting nutrients and leaving the dirt dry and rocky and vulnerable to being washed away by wind and rain. Farmers have taken to planting crops of sturdy agave on hillsides and along trenches as a way of holding soil in place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But maximizing profits from agave generally requires it to be cut down just as it matures, and right before it would flower \u2014 at the point when its sugar content is the highest \u2014 so the leaves can be sold to producers of Mexico\u2019s signature liquors. The plants have a one-time use and are eventually destroyed, undercutting their role as land stabilizers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In contrast, the hairy, white fibers used for Mr. Laposse\u2019s furniture pieces are harvested throughout the plant\u2019s lifetime, gently scraped from its leaves. The plants are allowed to flourish, and even to blossom, while continuing to provide a source of income for the farmers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He estimated that famers in Tonahuixtl have seeded 15,000 agave plants since he began working with them, selling him plenty of stock for the furniture pieces, including his popular \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/ago-projects.com\/work\/dog-bench\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">dog benches<\/a>\u201d which come in both natural colors and pink, the result of soaking the fibers in organic cochineal dyes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And, in what he describes as \u201ca noncalculated positive outcome,\u201d the agave blooms have drawn scores of bats to the area that feed off their pollen. The bats also happen to consume local insects that can infest the nearby corn crops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For his latest project, converting avocado skins into marquetry, Mr. Laposse does not oversee farming. Instead, he acquires the skins from guacamole factories that would otherwise dump them in landfills. The technique he invented to make the avocado \u201cleather,\u201d as it is marketed, starts with fresh skins that are slowly dried, cut and finished off in his Guerrero facility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cEach piece takes about four months, with three people here working on it every day, eight hours a day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Making labor-intensive objects means Mr. Laposse must keep his production capacity modest, and he said he is fine with that. He never envisioned expanding his business beyond the point where each project supports more than a handful of farming families. He is, after all, a designer not an industrial baron.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But he does think his practice of using design to solve social problems could be adopted by peers looking to do their own meaningful work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are creating methodologies that can be taught and applied to other local challenges, in different communities,\u201d he said. \u201cRather than offering a series of answers, maybe we create a manual of questions that you need to ask when you go and start a project like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mario Ballesteros, one of Mexico\u2019s top design curators, said that community-level effort was what sets Mr. Laposse apart from other designers in the country. He makes desirable objects, but he also raises awareness of social and economic issues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHis narrative is so strong, and it is such an important part of what he does,\u201d Mr. Ballesteros said. \u201cHe has the ability to tell very approachable stories through his work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That requires both diligent research and a commitment that must be sustained over the long haul, as Mr. Laposse is doing in Tonahuixtla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn Mexico, many designers are really just trying to figure out what the next trend is or what they want to show at the next design week,\u201d Mr. Ballesteros said. \u201cFernando, from his start, broke with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Laposse said his projects were long term, whether he liked it or not. If the production of chairs and tables starts, as his does, with planting seeds in a field, it takes years to reap the benefits of one\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Designers, he said, are always asked about their next project; it is the nature of their fast-paced business. He never quite knows how to answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI hate that question. Because what I\u2019m doing next is this,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m doing this forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is part of our Design special section about how food inspires designers to make and do surprising things.
