Mambo, born in 1969 in Santiago, Chile, is a French artist who has lived in Buenos Aires, Paris, Los Angeles, and now resides in Provence. A versatile and expressive creator, Mambo explores multiple artistic styles—from graphic abstractions (Brainology series), to gestural and geometric painting (Strokes), and minimalist, caricature-like portraits (Humans). His work centers around the human mind and behavior, translating emotions, thoughts, and reactions into visual symbols through bold lines and vivid color.
He has exhibited internationally in cities like Paris, Tokyo, New York, London, and São Paulo, and has collaborated with major institutions and brands such as the Louvre, Centre Pompidou, Prada, PSG, and Vans. In France, he’s also recognized for his graffiti with La Force Alphabétique, his exhibitions with the 9th Concept collective, and for creating visuals for the satirical TV show Groland on Canal+.
Mambo also works closely with the music label Pura Vida, designing album covers for artists like Guts, the Beach Diggin’ compilations, and collaborations with Laurent Garnier, Thierry Marx, Snoop Dogg, and Agnès b.
On this collab Beach Poncho, Mambo brings his distinctive touch to life with an all-over blue pattern, infused with the bold, playful, and abstract energy. The design delivers a cool urban-meets-beach vibe that turns a simple poncho into a statement piece.
Crafted with a 100% polyester exterior, the beach poncho offers comfort and quick-drying performance. The oversized cut and convenient side openings make it easy to slip on and off, while the 100% cotton terry lining and generous hood ensure you stay warm and cozy after a surf session, swim, or any water sport.
Practicality meets style with a chest pocket complete with a key loop, keeping your essentials secure while you enjoy the waves or the sun.
After Lab is a range of changing ponchos born from our love of art and the creative world of action sports. Each model is the result of an exclusive collaboration with internationally renowned artists: photographers, street artists, humanist creators, as well as modern, abstract or minimalist talents.
Invited to express themselves freely, each artist has designed a poncho as a work of art in its own right, letting their sensitivity, vision and creativity shine through. The textile becomes a canvas, showcasing every artistic universe with precision and intensity.
Created to combine style and functionality, After Lab changing ponchos are made from soft, comfortable terry fabric, with a 100% cotton interior for quick and effective drying. The wide hood keeps your head warm and protects you from the wind. The 100% polyester outer layer ensures optimal print quality, enhancing the details and colours of the artwork.
The loose fit and side openings make it easy to slip on quickly, before or after your water activities — surfing, wakeboarding or simply a relaxed swim. A chest pocket with a key cord completes the design, keeping your essentials safe and close at hand.
Each poncho comes with a matching tote bag, perfect for the beach, the pool or even a casual shopping trip.
