Chumbo celebrates fire as one of our oldest sources of light and connection.
our journey turns to another expression of fire: CHUMBO candelabra, a sculptural ceramic piece that recalls the higo chumbo —the prickly pear fruit known in Spain— and the quiet resilience of the landscape it belongs to.
SHAPED BY HAND AND TRANSFORMED BY FIRE in the kiln, the ceramic enters into dialogue with the first communal fires—the ancient flames that lit human caves and brought people together in their warmth.
MADE BY HAND WITH OUR ARTISAN PARTNERS, each piece bears subtle variations in texture and form; no two are quite alike. AN OBJECT MADE TO GATHER THE MARKS OF TIME and acquire a life of its own.
