Lørdag & Søndag
The studio collaborates closely with exceptional artisans, heirs to ancient techniques. From these collaborations emerge unique pieces, described as “artefactos” (atypical forms that exist between design and ritual). Through their creations, Lørdag & Søndag explore the notion of value. Acquiring a handcrafted object means choosing a form, but also receiving a fragment of culture and ancestral know-how. For the designer, each material carries within it a geography, a memory, and a migration.
Influenced by pre-Columbian art and the collections of the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, their work also draws inspiration from modernist figures (Vicente Rojo, Carlos Mérida) and influences from the American Southwest, from Georgia O’Keeffe to a form of mineral surrealism.
