A Destination for Surf, Sand and Style at Hotel des Artistes

Punta Mita, Mexico (January 2010) – The CRATE Interiors Gallery is now open in Punta Mita, creating a unique new destination for surf, sand and style in the lobby of the Hotel des Artistes. Located in the Anclote Village of Punta Mita, the showroom is open everyday with interior design and art consultations by appointment.

The warmly decorated showroom space features the company’s signature Sayulita Collection, as featured at The St Regis Hotel in Punta Mita, along with lighting, rugs, and accessories especially chosen for this resort climate. Artist-in-residence Alejandro Mondria showcases work inspired by fishing boats, whales and seascapes found just outside on the sandy shores.

The Gallery is headed up by Lisa Bruno, Strategic Development for CRATE interiors. Lisa became the first resident at the Four Seasons Villas in Punta Mita over 6 years ago and was instrumental in creating the look and feel of the first furnishings packages offered inside the gates of Punta Mita. British-born Lisa Bruno brings a decade of interior design expertise from her own former firm in Dallas, Texas and a distinctly local perspective on Mexican Resort living as a fulltime Punta Mita resident.

The CRATE Interiors Gallery is open daily and hosts Punta Mita Art Walk every Thursday evening, invites guests to weekly tastings in the showroom and upstairs to the Skybar for live music, courtesy of Hotel des Artistes. Famed chief Thierry Blouet offers weekly specials at his legendary restaurant, the Café des Artistes, and receives Art Walk guests to beachfront tables overlooking the sunset and surf.
