MAYÚ

MAYU is a Guatemalan design company producing handmade ceramics, glass and textiles, made by artisans across the country and presented through a contemporary eye. Its name condenses the brand’s motto, mundo, alma y union, and the catalogue runs from bowls, mugs and vases to glassware, table runners, cushions and blankets.

The company works from a showroom and office on Boulevard Vista Hermosa in zone 15 of Guatemala City and runs its craft programme with Fundacion BI, supporting a Design and Handloom Weaving Lab inside a new Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre that trains new generations in the trades. Its Susurros Mayas ceramic collection, shown in Milan in 2026 within Guatemala Designs by Hand, reinterprets pre-Columbian forms and Maya jewellery through surfaces of spheres applied by hand, one by one.
