En 1952, la disenadora cubano-mexicana Clara Porset organizo la primera exposicion de diseno de Mexico, "El arte en la vida diaria. Objetos de buen diseno hechos en Mexico". Aquella muestra, junto con las ideas de Porset, marco un punto de inflexion en la trayectoria del diseno en Mexico al aspirar a la unificacion de las tradiciones locales y el sueno de la industrializacion. Este libro repasa la genealogia de artesanos, promotores, empresarios y disenadores que han contribuido al desarrollo del diseno artesanal mexicano durante la mayor parte de los ultimos setenta anos, reivindicando una forma hibrida o mestiza de cultura material y amueblando la vida moderna con una forma localmente especifica de producir objetos. El libro explora el diseno grafico industrial, la indumentaria, el mobiliario, los objetos, la joyeria y la moda. Uno de sus principales objetivos es servir de referencia para la historia del diseno en Mexico.
