Trufa Pendant White – David Pompa

 David Pompa Trufa White Pendant is a handblown glass pendant lamp.

The David Pompa trufa pendant white is crafted from handblown recycled glass and features a sandblasted surface with a matte texture and very subtle air bubbles, just like the clear version of the Trufa pendant.

The glass transforms into a white, luminous body of light, offering a soft, diffused glow. The design incorporates a white metal structure and cable, blending elegently with the glass. Its tiltable and rotatable form allows for horizontal or diagonal settings, bringing versatility to its sculptural presence. Trufa White embodies a balance of craftsmanship and sustainability, creating a serene atmosphere through its minimalist design.

 

It allows for two different states: horizontal and diagonal, simply by moving the lighting object in the desired state by hand.

As the Trufa White is created by melting used glass bottles and transforms them into a lighting sculpture it closes the circle of

design, utility and beauty all staying within its original environment of Mexico City.

As this pendant lamp is both very classic and very comtemporary its narrative includes both subtleness and balance.

As every piece is a little different because of the hand-blowing and air bulbs in the glass, the white textured surface combines with all interiors.

 

Vidrio soplado

Recycled handblown glass containing air bubbles in its surface that play with light,

The entire handmade process is carried out by skilled artisans in Mexico.

Both the side table and the coffee table will adapt to your room thanks to the perfect balance of abstraction and functionality.

Indeed, the form began as an obsessive series of abstract geometric designs, before evolving into space-conscious furniture.

Yet, the Japanese inspiration has always remained.

 

These pieces are solid, even with their delicate graphic lines. The Japanese inspiration is obvious and

The empty spaces are also designed for storage.

You see, nothing is left to chance, because in these empty spaces you can store your books or magazines.

 

 

Designer:

Zoë Mowat is a designer based in Montreal, Canada.

She established her eponymous studio in 2010 with a focus on thoughtful and material driven furniture and product design.

Zoë’s approach is a sculptural and intuitive exploration of color, material, and form, that is counterbalanced by a desire to create functional objects that respond to our lived experience.

Ex.t – Beam bathtub – LES VRAIS

The Beam joins the new products of Ex.t. The Sans Nom and Salaris studios designed this compact, comfortable yet spacious bathtub.

The entire character of the bath rests on its base. In fact, it is the key design element, without which nothing would give the same impression.

Although it is made of strict lines, inspired by metal architectural profiles, it embraces the generous, soft shapes of the LivingTec body.

Beside the overall visual appeal, the design of the base means that the technical elements of Beam can be hidden.

Each material is chosen with intelligence and taste. The innovative finishes reflect it also.

The result is an exceptional bath that can easily adapt to any type of bathroom.

In fact, it will look equally impressive against a wall or in the centre of the room!

The metallic tray stands as practical support to enhance one’s enjoyment during bath time.

 The soap-holder stones enhances the bath thanks its special housing and a metal hook on which you can hang your towel.

Studio David Pompa – Meta Parallel black arrangement 10 – LES VRAIS

Meta Parallel black arrangement 10 is a light sculpture, looking like a horizontal plane.

The lighting object reunites in a new kind of relationships, the beauty of geometry and the roughness of rock into an aesthetically audacious and poetic form.

 

In this arrangement, five Meta Parallels black 140 are compiled to create a new piece of one of a kind.

So much that, the canopy starts a conversation between function and aesthetics, creating a unique integrated piece.

This way, a sculpture with its own language is created.

 

The Meta Parallel black uses Recinto, also known as volcanic rock, for the columns, and powder coated black for the metallic parts.

Thus, the metal element becomes a new visual object that reinforces balance and tension.

Additionally, these two materials give the lighting a natural, porous texture of discreet luxury.
