Description

Tona is conceived as an architectural representation of the female body, built from the contrast between two materials: hand-sculpted Mexican onyx and cast resin. The designer describes drawing on childhood memories of objects made by their grandfather, as well as a geologist father’s teaching on the properties of minerals — both threads feeding into the choice and handling of stone here.

Mexican onyx has a long history in pre-Hispanic Mexico, where it was used to create religious objects and jewellery; its particular green-toned veining is part of why it’s used here. The piece pairs a studded collar with a light bulb sitting above a pedestal sculpted from the onyx, with the resin adding a three-dimensional, almost tactile quality alongside its own faint scent.

Because of the onyx’s natural veining and the handcraft involved in shaping the resin, each piece comes out slightly different from the next.

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.
