HEMISFERIO is a table lamp composed of a sand-cast bronze base and a hand-carved volcanic stone top. The piece contains an LED light source inside the top, which reflects on the inside of the bronze base to emit indirect ambient light. The lamp contains a pivot point that opens and closes the sphere. It is an abstraction of Ecuador as the middle of the world, representing the equatorial line. It proposes to maintain a view towards the South, the northern hemisphere in stone and our southern hemisphere in bronze.
ÍCONOS is a creative and ethnographic exploration of the DNA and ICONS that constitute the Ecuadorian identity. The collection is a family of functional and sculptural objects based on the abstraction of Andean iconography and archetypes. It is an aesthetic exercise representative of the Andean region: its soul, materials, and talent.
