Pepe Mendoza is a Mexican designer who produced decorative objects and more rarely some furniture in the 1950’s-1960’s. His production is characterized by the utilisation of a cloisonné technique with enamel, turquoise and other colour stones to elaborate decorative and exuberant shapes. This kind of works is inspired by pre-Colombian motifs, that he modernizes.
