We work with the highest quality materials, which are showcased below. These materials allow us to make our lamps by hand innovating shapes and processes. We decontextualize materials such as metal mesh, wood or glass and by applying artisanal techniques, we transform them, fold them and bend them until we obtain warm, delicate and vivid shapes that allow us to produce design lamps.
