HUAKAL, pieces that speak.
Huakal is a Mexican brand of high-end artisanal decoration.
Each Huakal piece tells a story born from the earth and its roots, to start an endless conversation between its artisan creator and whoever acquires it. A story that has been and will be passed down from generation to generation, making it unique, original and everlasting.
The union of tradition and design, the richness of details, the fusion of techniques and materials, result in a differentiated product that transmits the essence of beauty.
Its artisanal production makes each piece different with the authenticity that imperfections provide.
The Artisan Creators
Mexico is a country tremendously rich in its crafts, with a vibrant community of artisan creators in each of its states.
Artisan creators are people who create pieces with their hands that speak of them and their stories. Pieces that touch on art, whose ingredients are the past, their roots and the earth.
People who believe in their soul, in their story, in their life and in what they do.
We travel throughout the Mexican state looking for unique pieces, difficult to find in craft markets. We maintain direct contact with them, without intermediaries. We share their needs and objectives, and we strive to give value to their work by helping them maintain the tradition so that future generations can continue creating authentic and exclusive pieces that emerge from the earth.
The origin
Huakal allocates 100% of its profits to projects that improve the social integration of people with intellectual disabilities.
It emerged as a business initiative within the Kalimori Foundation to generate resources for its support and create a scholarship fund to help people with intellectual disabilities and those without resources.
The mission of the Kalimori Foundation is to change the way society views disability, promote the development of people with intellectual disabilities to lead a life with greater independence and raise awareness of their worth.
The name Huakal (Waa + Kal) in Mayan means "uniting voices," and the philosophy of the brand and the company derives from it: we are all part of a chain. Alone we cannot achieve the same goals. We must unite ties, unite skills, and join forces to support those who are not so fortunate.
The reason for Huakal
The purpose of Huakal is to be the voice of artisan creators of pieces that, with their story, contribute to the integration of people with intellectual disabilities into a more open and inclusive society.
Huakal is a responsible brand that wants to give back to society much of what it receives, on the one hand, by helping local economies so that ancestral techniques of manual production of pieces of native crafts are not lost. And, on the other, by causing a change in the concept that society has of intellectual disability. To this end, in Spain, we have established alliances with the A LA PAR foundation, the Juan XXIII foundation and Prodis.
We want to contribute to the creation of a more diverse, open and inclusive society, because we believe that a better world is possible.
Who is it addressed to?
Huakal is designed for people who love aesthetics and art, tradition and craftsmanship and who want to feel special when choosing authentic and exclusive pieces that provide a unique accent to the decoration of their spaces.
People who are looking for pieces that convey their personality, who are interested in the history of each Artisan Creator and who value the meticulous work behind each piece, which is often not valued as it deserves.
People who, when giving a gift, look for something special that conveys their interest in the person who is going to receive it. Giving Huakal is giving more than a piece of decoration. It is giving a story, supporting the Artisan Creators and helping the social integration of people with intellectual disabilities.
