Neolithic Thinker is a piece hand sculpted from tezontle, a highly oxidized and porous volcanic rock endemic to Mexico. Its design draws from different historical references coming together in an syncretic form that is at once primitive, modern, pre-hispanic. It’s deliberately ambiguous shape making of Neolithic Thinker, a paradoxical entity that can be confused for art or tool but stands for both.

Maika palazuelos (designer and director) started panorammma during confinement with the intention of creating a permeable and open platform for design exploration. With an artistic background, maika initially conceived panorammma as an extension of her personal practice. Identifying in expressive domestic objects a possibility for them to compete with and extend our everyday narrative by inserting themselves into it. In a sense, they become trojan horses for artistic discourse by disrupting and reframing the mundane; opening up the possibility of altered states of life.
