The Copal Side Table draws inspiration from ritual elements rooted in Mexico, specifically the “copaleras”, objects similar to censers or cauldrons used for burning copal, a tree resin said to facilitate communication between humans and deities.

Copal Side Table in obsidian installed at MASA Galería.
The pieces serve both functional and sculptural purposes. Available in Natural and Burned Parota Wood, Green Marble, Volcanic Stone, and Obsidian.
Just like its larger counterpart, the Copal Side Table, composed of four identical pieces that are interconnected through hidden locks, embodies the same essence of balance, purity, and mysticism. This construction technique gives the impression that three out of the four parts delicately touch and hover in the air.
