Masked men who’ll take money

Mexico City-based DF Casa employs artisans to create home furnishings and decorative accessories that merge traditional techniques with witty contemporary design. The firm first made a splash with its Forest Series, cast stoneware replicas of tree stumps and life-size animal trophy heads in crayon-colored glazes. Now, DF Casa has tapped into the rich kitsch of Mexican professional wrestling with Los Luchadores de Amsterdam, a set of piggy-bank busts depicting the masked lords of the ring. Each of the six designs is 7 1/2 inches tall, hand-painted and accented in glitter. The series also includes a female wrestler in a bat hood. Available for $65 each at Show, 1722 N. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles; (323) 644-1960; www.showlifestyle.com.
