Panorammma: Experimental Furniture and Narrative Objects for Living

Panorammma is an innovative design studio based in Mexico City that specializes in the creation of experimental furniture and narrative-driven objects. Founded by Maika Palazuelos, the atelier treats each piece as a character within a broader spatial story, often referred to as “pseudo props.” Their work is characterized by a deep exploration of materials, ranging from industrial steel and chainmail to organic textures like volcanic tezontle stone and white Mexican onyx. By prioritizing the narrative potential of everyday items, Panorammma creates environments that are both intellectually engaging and physically functional. The studio’s poetics oscillate between disciplines, focusing on the alienation of everyday life and the space abstraction occupies in the social sphere. Each piece, such as the Neolithic Thinker chair or the Sisyphean Table, is designed to be lived and used, facilitating the fulfillment of objective tasks while serving as a “Trojan horse” for artistic discourse. Panorammma’s designs often draw from past visions of the future and myths of memory, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary, often retrofuturist, aesthetics. This commitment to conceptual depth ensures that every object produced is not just furniture, but a significant cultural artifact that disrupts and reframes the mundane experience of a domestic space.
