Ambra Toba Wall – David Pompa

Ambra Toba Wall 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.

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

The Ambra Toba Wall 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 aesthetics and design.

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

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

industrial lines while respecting the craftsmanship of Mexican artists.

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