"This chic downtown Puerto Viejo art gallery—clear evidence of a Costa Rican design boom—leverages the cultural confluence of Afro-Caribbean, European, and indigenous influences that shaped the town’s history. The decor is rather extravagant, and theinventory, which includes someitems fashioned on-site from natural materials,has paintings sharing space with mosaics, handmade jewelry, decorated mirrors, and straw lamp shadesthat resemble colorful beach hats and the region’s indigenous cone houses. Theexclusive swimwear linecarried here seemsinspired by the gallery’s beachside location as well asby Costa Rica’s sinuous, sensual shores. By Travesías"
