local-based studio davidpompa was born out of the desire to create contemporary design with a strong commitment to create contemporary design with a strong commitment to mexican identity. they work with an ethos of innovating craftsmanship and materials while respecting its heritage.
‘cupallo’ is a pendant lamp that uses 100% recycled and hand-shaped glass for the lens, resulting in an irregular surface with surprisingly tiny air bubbles enclosed. the glass creates a charming light effect and enhances the distribution of it through irregular flares. the lenses are made piece by piece in a small glass factory in hildago, mexico, while the outside shape is made of polished brass in a metal spinning process by artisans in the country’s capital.

the pendant lamp can be used in an elegant, horizontal arrangement, as well as in a playful way by hanging them in a disordered chandelier. because of the artisanal hand driven process, every piece shows a unique personality. ‘cupallo’ will be presented at salone satelite during salone del mobile 2016 in milan
