SALAR by ANDEAN is a sculptural candle holder composed of a sand-cast bronze base and hand-carved volcanic stone candle holders. Its shape represents the traditional process used to produce salt in colonial times in Salinas de Ibarra, in the north of Ecuador, where salt was filtered from the ground and pressed into units of currency.
It belongs to ÍCONOS, a creative and ethnographic exploration of the icons that make up Ecuadorian identity. The collection is a family of functional and sculptural objects based on the abstraction of Andean iconography and archetypes, representing the region’s soul, materials and talent.
The piece is made with artisans:
- Luis Farinango: hand-carved volcanic stone
- Carlos Pila: lost-wax bronze casting
- Janeth Muñoz: traditional candle making
The item comes with four sets of complimentary candles.
Customization is available on request.
