CAN | Barro Negro pendant lamp
The idea to work with Mexican artisanry started with a trip to Oaxaca in 2009 where David saw artisans work with “Barro Negro” for the first time. Since then we are committed to Mexican culture and craft. We are on a constant journey to combine tradition and innovation with our passion for high quality. Mexico is a rich country in culture and art, but we can see many traditional materials not coming out of their preconception. Our focus lies on local craftsmanship, combining the incredibly interesting materials with contemporary design and state of the art technology.
We see a big advantage in local manufactures by creating small collections of exclusive and individual personality that embody Mexican heritage in an outstanding design concepts. Studio davidpompa’s corporate culture is driven by the love for the work we do. We are obsessed with quality and try to share the same philosophy with our craftsman. We are on a constant journey to discover new parts of Mexican culture and try to innovate heritage. We don’t focus on working with big companies, we have the commitment to work with the best artisans and professionals in each field. We see the artisans, communities and companies as partners to create beautiful and high quality products. Over the last years we tried to achieve a new level of quality in different artisanry by challenging the ways of production to guarantee a wonderful product, piece by piece.

handblown & recycled glass For all of our products we use 100% recycled glass. This creates surprisingly tiny air bubbles inside the glass surface and creates a special appeal combined with light. Glassblowing is a glass forming technique that involves inflating molten glass into a bubble with the aid of a blowpipe. The glassblower brings the glass in its shape at this moment before it cools down. That allows the glassblower to define the shape more exactly. Because of the artisanal hand driven process, every piece shows a unique personality. We use traditional methods together with high quality standards for our products.

Barro Negro Barro Negro is a special pottery from San Bartolo Coyotepec Oaxaca, wich is characterized by its black colour that is found just in this area. The magic behind this material is the process which requires a lot of experience, sensitiveness and time. Polishing the pieces before firing with smoke creates the metallic shine on the surface. Today just a few families produce Barro Negro pieces and secure their living expenses by selling mainly decorated art sculptures and vases. Our aim is to reinvent this extraordinary artisanry in a contemporary way as well as it is our principle to improve the artisans living situation by creating a professional and constant work environment.

handwoven It is a tradition in Mexico to weave any product or form. We are working together with “AKELE home�, a family company with tradition, experience and incomparable quality on our first collection woven by Mexican artisans. The framework is made of metal and will be powder-coated to ensure long lasting products. After this, the artisans start weaving with a complex technique. The recyclable plastic strings are produced with high quality basic materials which guarantee durability in and outdoor.
La Caleta creates an interesting light flare through the handwoven structure - a game of light and shadow.
