About Us
The Modern Barrio is the beginning of a movement that captures Mexican-American culture as well as traditions, transforming it into contemporary and modern dinnerware and home goods. Taking inspiration from our heritage, traditions, and lifestyles, we have truly created something special and unique, that you can celebrate with on any occasion. Our select pieces of dinnerware stir up nostalgic memories of the past, present, and the future memories yet to be made.
Our style and designs span from each era of time that our culture has passed through. From our indigenous and Spanish ancestry, to the traveling agricultural life, to the beginning of the barrios and Chicano lifestyles, through the era of the Zoot Suits and car club scene, and to the contemporary times of being Mexican-American.
We incorporate our passion as a people and our love for good design to bring you unique pieces of our heritage into your home. Our custom dinnerware is a new era of heirlooms that narrates the struggles and the triumphs of our Mexican-American heritage.
