Urzúa, Black Cantera Stone, Regionalism Revival Side Table from Jalisco, México
About the Item
This side table is inspired by the work of Rafael Urzúa (1905-1991), an architect from Jalisco whose work often featured references to Mediterranean and Arabic typologies as two of the most direct influences of traditional Mexican architecture. Urzúa was a colleague and close friend of Luis Barragán during their early years as architects.
Cantera is a type of tuff rock -classified as both igneous and sedimentary- that has been widely used across Mexico, especially for construction during the colonial period. Since cantera can be found in a variety of colors, many colonial cities are associated with the particular hue that was used for its architecture. This model can also be custom made in white, pink or yellow cantera.
The vases are carved with both manual and electrical tools by the Íñiguez family in Yahualica de González Gallo, Jalisco. Small imperfections can be found in the vases, due to the nature of the material and the artisanal process. Lighter hues (white and pink) can develop patina. These factors may contribute to a long-term ruin-like look, which is part of the design concept. Dark grey cantera may present some small, shiny, crystal-like grains.

- Cult Stool, Sculptural Side Table, Mexican Green OnyxBy Maika PalazuelosLocated in Ciudad de México, CDMXCult stool/ side table; a hand sculpted stone from a Mexican marble and Mexican onyx conglomerate, remits to primal sculptural-architectural language while displaying materials in a modernist manner. The piece allows for the specificity of the material’s eccentric pattern formations to rein over its final appearance. Each edition; a unique piece. Working with rocks that are endemic to Mexico contextualizes the work at a geological level. Situating the pieces in a continuing and evolving historical narrative. Like taking part in an archeological exploration, working with native stones reveal a heritage of meticulous craftsmanship developed under the possibilities and limitations of local materials. When sculpting stone, you only get one chance to get things right. As each rock is different one must tailor form onto the material, in the way of discovering what each piece hides.
