The meticulous craftsmanship of the Altar collection, in its desire to honor the process and raw materials, is inspired by the flat-surfaced pieces used in pre-Hispanic rituals and ceremonies, especially in sacrifices or offerings to the gods.
We start by selecting stones for their aesthetic and textural qualities, which must comply with parameters of character, size and quality. These characteristics define the final shape and dimensions of each piece, since the rough singularities of each stone are respected, turning them into a series of unique objects.
