Casa Cita "Ritual" Capsule Collection
Two thousand years ago, the ancient Maya developed one of the most advanced civilizations in the Americas. They developed a written language of hieroglyphs and invented the mathematical concept of zero. With their expertise in astronomy and mathematics, the Maya developed a complex and accurate calendar system. The Maya kept their lives in harmony with their world - their family, their community, and their gods through daily rituals.
Mayan architects employed diverse techniques to enhance the beauty of their structures. They often elevated temples and palaces atop pyramids, platforms, and acropolises, while meticulously decorating the facades of public buildings. Within the temples, they adorned the interiors with hieroglyphs depicting their gods, showcasing their prowess not just in architecture but also in "interior design".
To this day this DNA runs deep through all the people of Latin America. Bringing my heritage to the forefront of my designs is a proud moment for me and I’m delighted to share it with you!
