Armadillo Vessel

Onora
About

Inspired by the armadillo’s shell—a recurring motif in Mesoamerican ceramics—this piece reflects a deep visual and symbolic heritage. The distinctive bands of the shell, rendered here through geometric incisions, evoke both flexibility and movement. Created in collaboration with master artisan Ángel Omar Covarrubias Ramírez in Colima, the vessel embodies a living dialogue between ancestral knowledge and contemporary design.

Design
Hand-molded and burnished using traditional techniques, the vessel’s tactile surface features precise incisions that reinterpret the armadillo’s protective armor. The result is a sculptural form that carries both cultural resonance and a quiet, organic elegance.
