Art Deco Style Brass Table Lamp with Painted Brass Shade
By Loyzaga
Located in Mexico, Ciudad de México
Brass table lamp with painted red brass shade.
This lamp is in a style that we call eclectic historical, combining Egyptian, Roman, English and neo classical elements. The history of eclectic style spans all the way back to the 18th century. The word eclecticism actually comes from the Greek word “eklektikos.”
It was commonly used in philosophy and encouraged picking the best doctrines from multiple schools of thought, then combining them to create a completely unique school of thought, specific to the person choosing the doctrines. The influence of the ancient cultures...

Single-Pendant Chainmail Droplet Sculptural Chandelier 60 cm
By Maika Palazuelos
Located in Ciudad de México, CDMX
Single Pendant Chainmail Droplet Sculptural Chandelier is a beautiful hand made light piece. A chainmail web hugs the lamp’s canopy, as the knit gets tighter the chainmail envelopes into a rope which hangs to finally suspend a glass globe. All the while the lamp’s warm light source remains hidden. In Chainmail Droplet Chandelier there is an evident contradiction between material and form as the chainmail takes on an organic cocoon like appearance.
When conceiving the first piece in this collection; I sought to create a design that supported the idea of a body that is open to different forms of expression; ultimately seeking to express and question our wish for constraint.
An object that through industrial materials knits into a soft light nest...
