Details

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