MAZUNTE Color:Cochinilla where form becomes both functional

where form becomes both functional and architectural gesture

The vessel suggests movement not just in form

architectural sensibility while remaining connected to the softness of human gesture

It is a reflection of Raúl de la Cerda’s reverence for weight

expressive buildings that feel both grounded in heritage and radically forward-thinking

MAZUNTE Color:Cochinilla where form becomes both functionalNamed after the Nahuatl term Maxotetia, meaning place to keep the eggs, Mazunte refers to the coastal town in Oaxaca where sea turtles return to nest. The piece honours this cycle of return, rebirth, and quiet persistence values echoed throughout the Kajaal Collection.
