Tzin
Plum fog & aluminum
5900
TZIN was designed in 1949, just months before Mariano Fortuny's passing, making it his final textile, a design whose meaning remains, appropriately, a mystery. The name and spiral motif point toward the Mesoamerican city of Tzintzuntzan, first excavated in the 1930s and 40s: a site where five rounded yácata pyramids, arranged in a keyhole formation, were clad in stone slabs decorated with spirals, circles, and petroglyphs closely resembling TZIN's own motifs. Whether Fortuny knew of these excavations, whether the parallel is deliberate or coincidental, is unknown. The pattern carries that ambiguity on its surface: structured and ornamental, grounded in an ancient visual language whose precise origins resist certainty.
