Cabria Candleholders by Cristián Mohaded & Santiago Lena

Each tower of chandeliers is made up of 2 or more built-in modules.
The staggered drawings of each module may vary between each series, they
are made “improvised” at the time of realization.

On each vase is an imprint of the fundamental human tool: the hand. That gesture is a signature in the earth. It shows that everything is malleable and, though ephemeral, it consolidates the age-old tradition of ceramics. The vase embodies in clay the eects of man’s hand, a print. This gesture leaves initials in the earth and exposes its malleability and concavity. An expression of sinking deeply into nature through forms that invite you to discover the resonances of an “inner journey” to the ancestral past but open to a future that is yet to come.
