In Gualajara, Mexico, the restaurant Hueso of Alfonso Cadena lives up to its name («Bone» in English) by covering its interior walls with more than 10 000 animal bones. It might sound a bit sinister but the wall covering is justified by a Darwinian inspiration, and we find, besides the bones, also kitchen objects and utensils interrupted with pieces from urban artists depicting the same theme. These elements were after covered with a light shade, a way to achieve a uniform appearance that lowers the symbolic weight of having so many bones on display.

All the chosen furniture seems untouched, with a natural finish, giving continuity to the whole idea for Hueso. The project was developed by architect Ignacio Cadena, that decided to cover the exterior of the 1940's building with a «second skin», using a layer of tiles. These handcrafted tiles form a subtle geometrical pattern that goes through the whole structure. On the entrance, the name of the restaurant is written in the same graphic style, providing a glimpse of the restaurant’s interiors.
