 David Pompa Ambra Toba Table red is a part of a new set of light sculptures, creating a perfect match between ancient stones and aluminium.

Ambra Toba Table – David Pompa

Ambra Toba Table is a sculpture of volcanic origin, with at his heart the Mexican “Toba Volcánica” stone, that meets the red aluminium.

The textures of the light sculpture disclose that the stone was formed from minerals, volcanic debris, and glass, accumulated over the course of

millions of years.

The unique texture of the geometrical surface is an evidence of the different past eruptions.

The Ambra Toba table completes the circle of performance, science, culture, and beauty while remaining in its native setting, Mexico City,

thanks to its construction from volcanic stone and aluminium.

Thus, the lamp allows us to connect with the progression of both the aesthetic and design.

The potent contrast between the porous textures and the subtle dark red highlights the studios’ modern take on traditional resources and craftsmanship.

Thorough researches have been conducted to achieve such a compelling result. The latter manages to blend two specific elements into

industrial lines while respecting the handiwork of Mexican artists.

All this work has resulted in a brand new collection of pieces that will enhance your interiors with their light.
