The Altar collection draws inspiration from the shrines, altars, and pedestals utilized in pre-Hispanic rituals and ceremonies. Rooted in the ancient traditions of stone masonry, Altar celebrates both the intrinsic beauty of raw materials and the artistry of the tools used in their creation.
In particular, the Altar Bench is meticulously crafted through a process of subtraction and removal, sculpting its form with a delicate balance of shape and function. Precision drills are used to demark the seating area while simultaneously giving a sculptural quality to the work.
