The Táas collection, consisting of a desk and a cabinet handcrafted from patinated brass, pays homage to Mesoamerican metallurgical techniques and objects. Táas refers to a pre-Hispanic word that can be interpreted as the act of cutting and piercing through a material, linking traditional metalworking practices to a contemporary design expression. Constructed from flowing curves of laminated metal, the pieces are sculptural, with their openings and niches serving both mysterious and functional purposes. The layered brass elements create a sense of depth and dimension, intertwining both structure and elegance.

The Táas cabinet draws inspiration from traditional metalwork in Mesoamerica. The piece is made up of openings and stepped geometries which reveal and conceal both form and content, offering a balance between the pristine and raw.
Comprised of sculptural forms, the cabinet is shaped with curves of patinated brass. The piece embodies the transition between the solid and void, open and closed, light and shadow, concrete and imaginary.
