"Tefra," the Spanish word for Tephra, refers to material ejected from a volcanic eruption.

Paying tribute to the pre-Hispanic cultures that honoured volcanoes as sacred dwellings of the gods, the sculptural lamp echoes the slopes of a divine and dormant volcano.

Elevated on the extruded form of a four-leaf clover, the latter recalls the intricate motifs found in the windows and architectural ornaments prevailing throughout the city of Guadalajara, perpetuated by the enduring influence of Spanish colonial aesthetics in Mexico.

“Tefra” reclaims these forms carved into volcanic basalt rock known as “recinto”, used for millennia as a building material in the region, to reflect on the layers of tradition, indigenous beliefs and colonial history that embody Mexico's landscape and cultural heritage.
