Sketch London brings Mexican design to Mayfair with ¡Hola, London! exhibition and Patrón Nights

Sketch London has launched a new exhibition titled ¡Hola, London!, running from mid September till November at its Mayfair venue. The exhibition marks the UK debut of AGO Projects, a Mexico City-based design gallery, and features the work of Mestiz, a studio led by Mexican designer Daniel Valero. Originally commissioned by the Denver Art Museum, the installation transforms the entrance and reception areas of Sketch into a vibrant landscape inspired by the folklore, nature and traditional craftsmanship of the Latin American region.

Mestiz’s work blends traditional artisanal techniques with contemporary design. In ¡Hola, London!, Valero’s pieces present a surreal interpretation of the Mexican landscape, incorporating elements of local symbolism and handcrafted textures, and creating a multisensory environment that bridges art, design and cultural expression.

The exhibition, which is open to the general public, is a collaborative effort between AGO Projects and Patrón Tequila, which is also involved in a concurrent series of themed evenings at Sketch, called Patrón Nights. The tequilla-fuelled evenings are scheduled for every Friday, and include Latin DJs, salsa dancers, cocktails and themed canapés, with tickets priced at £40 (to include two cocktails and a selection of bites). According to organisers, the aim is to offer “a celebration of Mexican creativity through immersive design and vibrant nightlife.”
