Description

This exquisite side table is a testament to the fusion of contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship. Conceived by the innovative duo Lørdag & Søndag in Mexico City, it is expertly crafted from oak wood by the masterful hands of artisan César Zamorano at Torno Decorativo Tonalá, located in the heart of Tonalá, Jalisco.

The design of this piece draws inspiration from a Teotihuacan clay figurine, beautifully capturing the essence of a woman adorned in traditional attire. It intricately represents a woman clad in a skirt, draped with a shawl, and embellished with a necklace, earrings, and an elaborate headdress. This artistic interpretation pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of Teotihuacan, an ancient Mesoamerican city known as “The City of the Gods” in Nahuatl.

Located northwest of Mexico City, Teotihuacan stands as a monumental archeological site, its artistic legacy echoing through pre-Hispanic artifacts and architecture across various regions of Mexico and Guatemala. This side table not only serves as a functional piece of furniture but also as a bridge connecting the contemporary art scene with the profound historical and cultural narratives of ancient civilizations.
