Conceptualized and directed by Patricia Pacino and Javier Iturrioz, the exhibition “El Toque Maestro” brought together thirteen prominent interior designers who transformed the spaces of Maman Gallery using selected works from its collection. Each intervention proposed a personal dialogue between art and design, creating a creative symbiosis that fused visual language with spatial expression.

In this edition, interior designer and architect Viviana Melamed chose our textiles to
shape her installation, inspired by works of Ernesto Deira and Carlos Cruz-Diez. In the
author’s own words:

“The idea is to offer the viewer a visual play of contrasts and coincidences between the
works of Deira and Cruz-Diez. We arranged both pieces — with strong contrast — on
two fabric-covered planes suspended in space, revealing cornices and moldings softly
lit, thus creating a dynamic between art and spatiality.

Likewise, we selected colors that correspond with the intensity and character of the
exhibited works. Finally, a circular rug serves as a visual nod, and a Matriz Design
armchair invites contemplation in this ephemeral design space: our personal touch.”
Our participation in this exhibition reaffirms the expressive power of our textiles within
environments of high conceptual and aesthetic value, projecting their use beyond
functionality into design as an artistic language.

Visitor’s quote:
“The textile ceased to be a background and became the protagonist. The ‘master touch’
was in what you felt when approaching that living texture.” – visitor and architect.
