Jorge Credenza

Context

The Jorge credenza is inspired by the chalchihuitl, the Náhuatl term for precious stones such as jade or turquoise, revered in Mesoamerican culture as symbols of value and the sacred. The circular pattern across its doors echoes the glyph used in codices, reinterpreted as a rhythmic sequence that orders the surface. More than ornament, this gesture translates into wood the idea of treasuring; just as jade was believed to preserve vital force, the credenza holds what we cherish in daily life. Between memory and function, it proposes a dialogue between pre-Hispanic references and contemporary design.

Made With

Solid wood, rhythm, and symbolic voids.

Process

Circles, repetition, and sacred geometry.

The carved circles are not random ornament but a deliberate reference to the chalchihuitl glyph. Each depression becomes part of a modular system that transforms wood into a visual language. Through rhythm and repetition, the credenza creates a surface that speaks of order, memory, and the value of what is preserved within.

Reflection

A contemporary relic of value.

Jorge reinterprets a Mesoamerican symbol of preciousness into a piece that balances cultural memory with modern function. The credenza suggests that what we store in our homes is not just practical but symbolic—fragments of life and identity. It turns storage into ritual, making visible the connection between object, history, and everyday use.
