Magmatic Parallelism

Mexico city based studio davidpompa presents its new sculptural collection Meta Parallel and creates a vertical displacement at Alcova 2022 in Milan. Embracing the industrial blue tiles, the studio reinforces the tone by creating a backdrop where blueness takes over the space. Magmatic Parallelism explores the deconstruction of a volcanic event, both vertical and horizontal elongated pieces suspend against this monotone space, creating a volcanic landscape of hanging rocks. The Mexican studio brings its signature into the physical space, setting materials in focus. A lower pedestal displays atypical stone shapes lined up, arising a new perspective; a parallel process: the solidification of lava and that of the production process of the pieces. The question for visitors arises, visualizing the bridge between what they see and the aesthetic of the final object.

Meta Parallel collection

Shaped by two material parings: volcanic rock combined with coated aluminum or fiorito stone with brass, the collection suspends its elements in different axes. Formed into cylindrical shapes the stones are bridged by an elongated vertical or horizontal metal sheet. A displacement of the metal piece brings the stones into several levels, the watermark of the collection aesthetic. A mirrored balance combines the roughness of the stones, high end light technology and industrial processes. The result is a warm sleek atmosphere in a sculptural piece.

Studio davidpompa creates unique objects with a strong commitment to materials rooted in Mexican culture. A collective work of creative people, developing a unique visual language. Based in the heart of Mexico City, in the la Roma Norte neighborhood, the studio is on a constant journey to discover new aspects of craftsmanship and materiality. The pieces study the interaction between crafts and visual language, each of them reflecting a new chapter of the studio’s story. The collection is shaped by a timeless aesthetic that is translated into forms and natural finishes, enhanced by light. It demonstrates a commitment to creating objects of high quality, both strongly tactile and beautifully crafted.
