The result of their travels to Japan, France, the United States and South Africa is found inside an art deco house from the 1930s. This is Void, a vintage shop that offers luxury clothing and accessories with history. The house is divided into five themed rooms.

Three years ago Libia Moreno and Enrique Arellano had the idea of ​​creating a space that reflected our country, especially its homes and typical products of Mexican homes. The result is a store in Juárez that houses more than 1,500 objects, most of them utensils that mix artisanal and industrial. These are pewter cups, colored light bulbs, kitchen utensils, pans, spoons, plates, bottle openers, but also cleaning products such as jars, fiber brushes and vinyl aprons. An advantage of the store is that it supports the Mexican market since all its products are made in small workshops in and others are exploring jobs by walking the streets of the historic center until they find products and utensils that fit the concept of the store. As for decoration, UM receives an honorable mention, it gives you a family warmth with garlands of lights, soft lights, bottoms and walls with aluminum jugs, graters and bags hanging as part of the decoration. UM has a space where, in addition to household utensils, you can find Laika brand notebooks, wrapping paper, erasers, pencils, metal rulers, pencil sharpeners and other stationery. If you are wondering about the prices, there are affordable items and others less so, you can find pewter jugs for $480, molcajetes for $190, bottle openers for $60 and even a wall map of CDMX for $2,500.
