This line, deeply inspired by Apapacho's Mexico City origins, utilizes clay, onyx, marble, and volcanic rock to achieve its stunning design. The release consists of a dual-function bookend/vase and a "valuable box" designed by local craftsmen and carved with functional features. With this collaboration, HAVEN is aiming to “[create] objects that transcend function to become enduring works of art, embodying the spirit of collaboration and cultural dialogue.” The HAVEN x Apapacho collection will debut on November 22 through a themed pop-up at the brand's Vancouver location. Apapacho will also bring additional works, like ceramics and marble home goods, to this immersive event.
