Luminaria Oox

$2,770.00 MXN

Oox comes from the Mayan word that means three. Three were the main graphic symbols in Mayan numerology: the snail or seed, the dot, and the line. The table luminary is inspired by the lattices of the Yucatan Peninsula and pays tribute to the Jipijapa weaving and stone carving, ancestral techniques of the Mayan region. Made in collaboration between designer Isaac Cruz, designer Camila Fernández, and the artisans of the stone carving workshop for Inedito 2019, an initiative of Design Week Mexico.

The jipijapa fabric, made from a plant native to the tropical areas of the American continent, began to appear in Campeche around the year 1800. Artisans collect the jipi to prepare its fibers to obtain different thicknesses. This fiber is woven in a humid environment and the process depends on the fineness of the fabric, which can take from a week to a month. Stone carving, from miniature pieces to monumental ones, was one of the greatest artistic expressions of the ancient Maya. Today, artisans keep this technique alive using stones like the Maya cream, representative of the Yucatan peninsula, with which they create unique pieces with unparalleled finishes.
