Mexican Country Style
by Joe P. Carr & Karen Witynski

Now in paperback, Mexican Country Style is the classic that helped launch the popular Mexican-design revival. Authors Karen Witynski and Joe P. Carr navigated coastal villages and old colonial mining towns by bus and burro, bumping down narrow cobblestone streets in search of simple and utiliarian elements like country tables, workbenches, storage trunks, corral gates, and old heavy doors. Intrigued by the diversity they saw, the authors documented the wide variety in style, design, and shape of each object they encountered. Weathered coffee mortars, milking stools shaped like animals, and sculpted sugar molds reflect a rich local history as well as the ingenuity of the hand that crafted them. Mexican Country Style is the result of one of those fascinating journeys and boundless discoveries, a celebration of a rugged, romantic beauty and magical antiquity that continues to make its way into the contemporary interiors, gardens, and commercial settings across the country.
