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 desk is constructed out of patinated brass, with its curvatures offering a blend of the enigmatic and functional. Inspired by architectural steppes and columns from Mesoamerican constructions, the piece’s geometry is made up of folded metal surfaces.
Táas Collection installed at Gallery COLLECTIONAL, Dubai.
In a direct allusion to the act of piercing or cutting, the metal sheets have been transformed into a sculptural entity that links traditional metallurgy practices to a contemporary design expression.
