如今，人们对其设计的真实性变得越来越感兴趣了——总是被刀叉后面的工匠们所吸引，或者是对他们地毯上错综复杂的编织负责的技工。
新的在线商店MaisonNumen甚至更深入，从设计世界的通常未发现的区域捕捉设计的故事。

该品牌的第一个项目探索拉丁美洲。从安第斯山脉偏远的委内瑞拉地区的工匠到墨西哥殖民地的口袋，梅森·努门在第一批名为“拉丁动物第一卷”的藏品中分享了这些本土人才。

首批产品包括纺织品、木制品和陶瓷，全部来自秘鲁、危地马拉、委内瑞拉、墨西哥或哥伦比亚。他们有一个共同之处：他们都是在自己的家乡手工制作的，把他们的文化特色转移到独特的艺术作品上。

创办人杰西卡·马西亚斯(Jessica Macias)和安娜·考夫曼(Ana Caufman)自始至终都在收集这些设计，他们努力与我们分享他们的特色制造者的特殊文化，告诉我们他们穿越这些地方例如，委内瑞拉的亚马逊河(Amazon River)：“现在已经干涸了，”努门的营销总监贝德尔·冈萨雷斯(Bader Gonzalez)说，“所以你现在甚至连这条河都找不到。”

按照梅森·努门网站的“阿特拉斯”、“故事”或“材料”的主题排序，每一篇作品都有一个与它们的来源有关的个性和性格。Talavera技术和katalox木材只有在墨西哥才能找到，在亚马逊雨林中，女性土著居民创造的有机“Wii”篮子中有一种温顺的感觉。

虽然许多这些作品在风格上仍然是传统的，但从墨西哥莫雷洛斯的九得派克陶土制成的洁净利落的乳脂陶瓷中，可以看出当代的风貌。设计师们使热带材料重新焕发活力，并将其转化为现代的、极简主义的设计作品。

“我们和他们一起长大了，”当我们问她哪种设计是她最喜欢的，“他们是我们的孩子！”马西亚斯说。梅森·努门将于9月推出第二批“拉丁动物第二卷”。

The collection, titled 'Latin Animae Vol 1', comprises myriad wares from five countries. The one thing they have in common: they are all hand crafted in their home regions, transposing their cultural characteristics on the unique works of art

The inaugural range includes textiles, woodwork, and ceramics, all from Peru, Guatemala, Venezuela, Mexico or Colombia. Pictured left: 'Margarita Pendant Lamp', by Studio David Pompa, from Mexico. Right: handmade rug, by The Mayan Store, from Guatemala

Ordered into the themes of ‘Atlas’, ‘Story’ or ‘Materials’ on Maison Numen's website, each piece has a personality and character that relates to where they derive from.

These clean creamy ceramics made from Jiutepec clay – from Morelos, Mexico – evoke a more contemporary style. The designer, Luis Vega, has rejuvenated the tropical material to create a modern minimalist design piece

‘We have grown with them,’ states Maison Numen's Jessica Macias when we asked her which design was her favourite, ‘they are our babies!’ Pictured: salad serving set, by Onora, from Mexico

Maison Numen are launching 'Latin Animae Vol 2' in September, and then hope to travel the world finding more international treasures thereafter
