About the Item

Inspired by organic forms found in nature, this abstract sculpture designed by Eduardo Herrera and crafted in silver .950, heat treated copper and tumbaga (an alloy of copper and zinc), each link on this piece is hand hammerer, cut and welded by more than 600 hinges to provide movement and flexibility. Turning this sculptural vase into a dynamic work of art. Using ancestral techniques pased on by generations Eduardo Herrera reinterprets the traditional art of silversmithing and brings a modern twist which is both bold and romantic in his workshops in Taxco, Mexico. Initially trained as an architect, EDUARDO found his passion in jewelry. As a young child, his parents introduced him to a world of art through their unique collection of XXI Latin American paintings and sculpture. Immersed in this environment, he developed a sensibility towards the artistic world. Captivated by the work of architect and muralist, Juan O’Gorman, he decided to follow a professional degree in architecture. During this time, he also worked with contemporary Mexican painters and artists. This led him to develop two parallel design drivers; that of the rational functionality of architecture and the formal aesthetic of art. As he concluded his architectural studies, he also began to create his own furniture line. Eventually, his personal life led him to Taxco, Mexico where he founded his workshop in 2011 and began working with jewelry. Both reinterpretations of natural elements and precise architectural detailing can be seen in each of Eduardo’s unique creations. *This item is made out of several infividual pieces welded together through hinges, it is NOT suitable for holding liquids.
