The Pyra table draws inspiration from the material culture surrounding fire in Mexico. In the volcanic region of Jalisco, fire and lava have shaped forest ecosystems, while in revolutionary movements, fire has been a tool of resistance.
The table celebrates this complex relationship by combining two materials transformed by heat: volcanic stone and charred wood. It highlights the duality between materiality and darkness. The table’s legs are positioned at the ends, thus rejecting the traditional hierarchy of seating at the head of the table.
