FOUNDRY
For the making of some of our pieces—such as the Memoria Stools, the Partera Chair, the Copal Coffee Tables crafted in bronze and the entire Exhuma collection—we draw inspiration from the pre-Hispanic casting technique that has been fundamental in Mexico since around 1450 AD, particularly in the southwestern region of the country, in what are now the states of Michoacán, Guerrero, and Oaxaca.
Metal, in its liquid state, is poured into molds made of sand or stone. Once solidified, the piece is removed from the mold so it can be polished.
In the case of the Memoria Stools and the Partera Chair, a wax replica of the original object is made in order to reproduce it; however, thanks to the qualities of incandescent bronze, even though the technique is repeated infinite times, each piece is always unique.
