As an artisan made /handmade product sizes can change
Our glassware pieces are sturdy, solid and feel very nice to the touch and hold.
We are a small independent brand that promotes the Mexican heritage of artisans through contemporary design in a worldwide market and taste.
We work in partnership with traditional workshops around the country, many of which have been running for generations, some of them for more than 160 years. Faced with the global environmental crisis, we have taken solace in the ways in which communities across Mexico have for generations created useful objects with natural materials they find around them, and which at the end of the item’s useful life can help it to degrade back into the earth. We are proud to be a part of that tradition and believe that an object made with love, thought and knowledge of technique can be reflected in objects that change our way of consumption.
The story behind the design of these glasses.
Nightlights of Mexico City is a collection of classic glasses inspired by the nightlife of Mexico’s cultural golden age in the 1950s.
It was a time when the city life was cosmopolitan and the night was about dressing up and drinking cocktails in the club, watching the magnificent mambo dancers and musicians and then dancing a skeleton shake with the salsa and cumbia rhythms.
This atmosphere was surrounded by a warm and low light and there on the table was our drink, shining with the sequin dresses in the night and the brass instruments and the laughs and the stars in the sky. Mexico city came alive at night.
