Lele María José forges a powerful connection between a celebrated folk icon and a contemporary design language. As part of the LELE series, this piece reinterprets the traditional Lele doll through a lens of minimalism and refinement. It celebrates the continuity of cultural storytelling while affirming the transformative power of design — a quiet yet confident tribute to Mexican identity.
Design
Defined by its bold conical base and softly rounded head, María José’s silhouette evokes stability and grace. The matte terracotta finish reveals the raw texture of the clay, grounding the form in its material origins. Accented by striking violet earrings, it stands as a sculptural object that carries both cultural symbolism and timeless aesthetic appeal.
