Medium Emerald Ceramic Pendant Light, Brushed Brass Diamantes Atzompa Collection

Building on this tradition, we formed a partnership with master artisan Eligio Zarate, whose family has for generations worked to bring innovation to this centuries-old craft.

Using a red clay that comes from local mountains, the pieces in this collection are first given form within custom gesso molds. Emerging from the molds, the repeating openwork designs-which play on motifs that are carved in to the stone at Mitla, the neighboring archeological ruins-are meticulously cutout one by one. Each piece is brushed with a white wash, or dipped in an emerald-hued glaze, and then finished in a kiln firing.
