Art deco design flourished in Mexico City’s Roma, Condesa and Centro Histórico neighborhoods in the late 19th and early 20th century, leaving a legacy of decorative window grates, tile patterns, balcony railings, and architectural embellishments that are still visible today.
We created Lotería Deco (based on the popular Mexican board game Lotería) as a tribute to the stunning design details we observe on our daily walks through the city.It’s not easy to call out these shapes while playing, but that’s part of the fun — the process was inspired by Sol Lewitt’s Wall Drawing Instructions.Created in an edition of 110, we hand-printed the game on our antique Vandercook Universal I letterpress.
