Where to See Pedro Friedeberg's Work in San Miguel de Allende

Pedro Friedeberg is the Mexican-born artist and designer best known for the Hand Chair, and for blurring the line between fine art and the objects you actually use. His ornate, playful surrealism shaped how our house looks, from the architecture to the interiors.

Where to find it in the house:

• The courtyard: sculpted reliefs climb the walls beside the double Chichimeca staircase, above the pools and lemon trees. It's lovely at dusk, when the lanterns come on.
• The Alma Suite: Friedeberg's Aztec monkey reliefs crown the fireplace. If the art is your reason for coming, this is the suite to ask for.
• The Aura Suite: our smallest suite at 260.37 sq ft, with a Friedeberg mural and views over the city, garden and pool.

Each of our six suites has its own custom artwork alongside mid-century furniture and local craftsmanship, so the art keeps turning up wherever you are in the house.

Can you visit without staying? No. The art is part of the house, and the house is for our guests, so it isn't open to the public as a gallery. Stay with us and you have it to yourself, morning coffee included.
