Description

If we had to choose a pet that we can identify with and that represents the culture and richness of Mexico, it would be the Aztec dog Xoloitzcuintli. The Xoloitzcuintli, a cherished breed that has stood as a loyal companion for generations, holds a sacred place in our Mexican ancestral traditions, serving as a lucky amulet to guide souls on their journey to the world beyond.

We identify with the Xoloitzcuintli because its beauty lies in its rarity and unusual character compared to the norm for a dog. Therefore, like many historical artists, we decided to continue celebrating this living archaeological gem by embodying its value in a pair of wooden sculptures that symbolize success and prosperity, Lolo and Lola.

About Design VA Visit Showroom →

Design VA is the result of the work of a marriage, a friendship, and a team that found through design a way to bring back and nurture their inner child. The child that every adult needs to remember how to enjoy leisure moments, to continue dreaming of achieving everything that sounds absurd and utopian, to be endlessly curious, and to never stop asking what, how, and why? We seek to create designs that bring ordinary objects to life by developing an identity, character, or personality, thus making them extraordinary. We believe that change and movement will always be constant. That is why at Design VA we have begun to explore how we can integrate these constant values into our designs for tomorrow’s home. We invite you to visualize our world and share your opinion. Our most beloved belongings are those with which we have lived valuable memories and stories. Thus we seek to create objects that relate to humans and develop a connection with their users. Designed pieces meant to last and keep us company while we cherish them.
