Síijijil

Síijil is a new collection of handcrafted pieces designed by Joel Escalona in collaboration with the skilled craftsmen of Taller Maya. Inspired by the living Mayan culture, Síijil transforms raw materials like wood, Mayan cream, and reclaimed horn into sculptural, decorative, and utilitarian pieces that celebrate the harmonious relationship between nature, land, and tradition.

HOME DECOR COLLECTION

This collection comprises over 60 pieces that stand out for their warm textures, neutral and nuanced colors, and their exquisite geometric and minimalist shapes. Through his partnership with the master craftsmen, Joel was able to bring the raw materials to life in timeless designs that pay tribute to the elegance and innovation of the craft creation process.

As the Design Director for Taller Maya, a Mexican collective brand made up of artisanal social companies based in the Yucatan Peninsula, this was the last collection designed by Joel Escalona leading all creative efforts. Discover Síijil and be mesmerized by the beauty and vibrancy of these one-of-a-kind pieces.
