Mexico lives from a very rich culture and yet, due to its colonial history, the country is constantly on the lookout for its "nationality" and its "origin". At Viva Boon, we try to understand this rich historical heritage and reinterpret the roots of Mexican culture in a vivid, modern and tangible way.

Viva Boon stands behind the joyful, colourful and meaningful Mexican lifestyle and brings it to the "grey" European countries. The source of inspiration for our weaving patterns are the Mesoamerican culture and old religions, we are particularly fascinated by the Aztecs and Maya.
‍
Each of our patterns has a different meaning and design language that we want to show. Viva Boon are unique, meaningful and colourful premium textiles.

Our textile design Cielo is a modern representation of 'Topan', the Thirteen Heavens the ancient Aztecs believed the heavers were constructed and separated into. Each level had from one to many gods living in and ruling them.

Our textile design Lagarto is inspired in Cuetzpalin, meaning ‘lizard’. Cuetzpalin is the day in the Aztec calendar associated with the god Huehuecoyotl, the god of of music, dance, mischief, and song. The day of Cuetzpalin is associated with changing luck.

Available in blue, green, gold and red.

Our textile pattern Tornado symbolizes wind and is associated with Ehecatl, the Aztec god of wind and rain. In the Aztec creation myth, he helped create mankind and stood for intelligence and self-reflection. His day in the Aztec calendar is a reminder to give up bad habits.

Available in red and orange.

Our textile pattern Fuego symbolizes fire. The Aztec god of fire, warmth and light is Xiuhtecuhtli. In Mesoamerican culture, fire is a fundamental element that not only pervades the entire universe, but also stands for purification, transformation and regeneration of the world.

Available in day and night tones.

Our textile pattern Trueno symbolizes the Aztec god Macuilcuetzpalin, the god if the five lizards. He symbolizes enjoyment, intoxication and excess, as well as the associated punishments. We imagine this as lizard surrounded by another four, like thunder and lightning.
