WEST 1 & WEST 2 armchairs by Julio Martínez Barnetche are masterpieces in handcrafting beautiful ashwood and black Obsidian. All parts are individually joined together with wood sticks and stainless steel joints, the latter being covered with carved black Obsidian, native to Mexico. ⁠

Other items by the mexican artist and sculptor also featured were our newest adquisition, the beautiful BELL jewellery sets, each consisting of matching silver necklaces and bracelets with sculpted details in Jade and Jasper.

 

The gallery presented the new TEOTL table lamp, by Thierry Jeannot, meticulously crafted with recycled plastic bottle parts, metal, and perspex elements. This unique light object pays tribute to Teotl, the Nahuatl (Aztec) expression for god, or the divine.

Mexican contemporary artist Thierry Jeannot’s work represents sacred power and continuous energy in motion.
