PLB Lamp by Omar Ortiz
About the Item
PLB lamp by Omar Ortiz, 2021
Dimensions: H8 x D16cm
Materials: Volcanic stone, handblown glass.
El Pedregal is a neighborhood south of Mexico City developed in the 1940s and its main developer was the famous Mexican architect Luis Barragán.The most representative house today is the Prieto Lopez house, founded on what was once a desert area full of volcanic stone. Nowadays the decoration of the stone floor house unites original objects of the family and recurring objects in Barragán’s work, one of these objects is the blown glass spheres made in Tonala, in his native state of Jalisco. The blown glass, transparent, spherical with an ethereal appearance that works as a light diffuser and the cylindrical stone base that refers to the ground, the verticality of the mountains and which gives solidity to the sphere, both elements were once liquid fire, moldable that merging with air and different temperature created materials that contain unique air bubbles in each piece.
La Muerte Tiene Permiso Collection
In pre-Hispanic cultures it was believed that the mountains were home to the gods. The pyramids repeated the shapes of the nearby mountains. These same civilizations forged their identity in stone, with sculptures, stelae, columns and pyramids among others. The collection explores the handcrafted and symbolic elements of stone. The relationship with clay, fire, water and air to create a cycle within a piece that houses these elements and creates a micro spring. Stone that holds up clay that can contain water or fire to give way to life and the cycle repeats itself over and over again.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.

Located in Geneve, CH
Manantial Vase by Omar Ortiz, 2021
Dimensions: H21 x W10cm
Materials: Volcanic stone, black clay.
Is a vase that is held off the ground by a hand-carved stone base. The vase resists fire below 950 degrees so it can be used to burn charcoal inside it or incense or contain water for flowers and plants. The vase made of black Oaxacan clay filters a very light humidity through its walls, which are cooked at a low temperature with wood and not glaze. The base of Manantial is made of volcanic stone known as recinto. The shape of the base is inspired by the legs of the traditional molcajete that is used to grind spices and chili peppers while the arches refer to the basic shape of the entrance to a cave creating an empty space between the ground and the black clay vase...
