At arturo alvarez’s plywood is used in an original way, outstanding its hidden beauty, showing the interior face of the board instead of its surface. The light provided from the lamp comes from the spaces between the perfectly placed strips of plywood, as if they were domino pieces. Its own laminated finish produces the tone of the light, and it is available in white, yellow and black.

Plywood, used this way, generates warm pieces, with elegant and clean lines, a searched simpleness that reveals from the inside and that contrasts with the usual toughness of wood, but preserves its resistance.

We work with a semi-handcrafted glass from the USA. Its irregularities, eye catching watermarks, felt by touch, give the lamps personality, reinforcing their unique character. It is opalescent glass, in a range of vibrant and bright colors, used in different combinations, going from sobriety to a multicolored symphony.

The glass is worked with several techniques, assembled with metal, in a particular revision of the tiffany technique, or in small sequenced pieces that form sinuous and elegant waves.

It is a material that permits infinite possibilities for design as its highly flexible. It is used mainly in strips, woven among themselves, recalling the antique techniques of traditional basketmaking.

Its lightness is another of its virtues, and large volume lamps, with a lot of presence but very light looking, can be made with it. The designs in polypropylene are commercialized in white, color that provide a touch of elegance to the lamps with more body and appareance of arturo alvarez.

Resistance and easy maintenance are other values that make it an ideal material to work with.
