Dziu

Sale price$3,850

This gorgeous piece is inspired by the bird Molothrus bonariensis, called "dziú" in the Maya language of the Yucatán Peninsula. The Dziú artifact is part of the Black Sculpture Series, made of wood burned in the yakisugi style, designed by Lørdag & Søndag in Mexico City and executed by master César Zamorano of Torno Tonalá, in the city of Tonalá, Jalisco. Fun fact: According to the Maya myth, the dziú's black plumage is due to it being burned while saving the corn kernels from a great fire, preserving this vital crop for humanity.

About the Maker

Lørdag & Søndag

Salvador and Enzo were born on an island in Campeche, southeastern Mexico—a region steeped in Mayan and colonial history. With an architect father and a mother who practiced wildlife photography, they grew up surrounded by a rich collection of regional crafts and curiosities from their parents' travels, instilling in them the belief that a home could be filled with beautiful objects, each with its own story.
Salvador brings a background in International Business while Enzo contributes expertise in Visual Arts. Together, they draw inspiration from ancient and contemporary Mexican culture—from archaeology to modern art—collaborating closely with artisans from diverse communities to create pieces that seamlessly blend clean aesthetics with timeless design.
