New from Christian Vivanco is this 'El Tianguis' stool prototype, inspired by structures found at Mexican markets.

In fact the name, 'Tianguis' actually means an open air market or bazaar - traditionally held on certain market days in an urban neighbourhood in Mexico.

"The word Tianguis comes from 'tianquiztli', which means 'market' in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztec Empire. Its inheritance is a mixture of commercial traditions of prehistoric cultures of Mesoamerica, including the Aztec and the Middle East's bazaars brought to America by Spain." says Christian.

"It is very different from street vendors, it is of great tradition and is performed on a specific day, besides the supply of goods is higher and there are available mainly articles of great need."

Apparently, according to Christian, a common element found at the market is the construction method used to build the retail spaces - traditionally composed of square metal tubes, which are assembled together in a very simple way.

This structure facilitates a fast assembly and disassembly, and is perfect for their constant mobility.

Inspired by this system, the El Tianguis stool was born, similarly made of a metal structure and a wooden seat.

Simple and practical, El Tianguis stool is useful for indoors or outoors and can even be disassembled easily into small pieces for storage.
