Details

Inspired by the exquisite embroidered flowers adorning Oaxaca's traditional textiles, Mexican artisans Pablo and Lucy Mendez create a gorgeous copal wood ornament that captures the region's culture and festive aura in one colourful sphere. This time, the team uses a palette of turquoise and black hues to hand-paint each floral detail, allowing for a refreshing vibe. As the final touch, a lovely tassel and beads dance at the bottom of the design.
