Description

The sphere is the fundamental piece of the collection. This unique light bulb is made entirely from crystal resin, its concavity shaped to capture movement and lightness in the material. Each piece is one of a kind, formed from a mould that shapes the resin into its final sculpture. Composed of a studded collar and a light bulb, the pedestal is sculpted in Mexican onyx.

In the designer’s own words: the three-dimensional effect of the resin, its lightness and even its smell brings back childhood memories of playing with objects made by his grandfather. Raw materials have always been part of his life — his father, a geologist, taught him the properties and characteristics of minerals. Onyx has been used in pre-Hispanic Mexico to create religious objects and jewellery, and ‘Mexican Onyx’ is used here for its ancient association and its distinctive green nuances. The pairing of onyx and resin is meant as a contrast between precious nature and modern, human-made creation.

About Adrian Cruz Visit Showroom →

In 1946, my grandfather Chema, started to work with resin in his small atelier in Mexico City. He created figures such as toys, buttons and household products, but his creativity went beyond the commercial use of the resin. He started to experiment with new forms, encapsulating flowers and insects to create magnificent artworks.

 

When I was a child I used to play with these objects, fascinated by the translucency and the three-dimensional illusion that light creates through the resin. After finishing my studies in Architecture in Italy, I realized that those objects were still in my mind waiting to be revived and played again. Today, using the unique and sophisticated technique that Chema developed, I mix colours inspired by the Mexican culture with pure forms in onyx and marble as learnt through my architect's journey.

 

Through the objects that my grandfather created, he transmitted me his passion. Although I never met him, each piece I design is like discovering something new about Chema.
