Estela is a sculptural lamp inspired by ancient Mexican stelae—monolithic stone pieces created by early pre-Hispanic civilizations to record their history. The lamp emits a soft, warm light, reminiscent of a torch glowing within a cave. Hand-carved from a single block of marble, its pristine exterior contrasts with the raw, unpolished interior, where the marks of the artisan’s tools remain visible.

Sculpted with exceptional precision, the Estela lighting sculpture stands as an elongated monolith, almost solemn in its presence. The challenge of sourcing such long, flawless stone blocks ensures each lamp is a singular work of craftsmanship.
