From Oaxaca, and in partnership with Caterina Moretti of Peca design studio located in Guadalajara, Graypants continues to explore new materials and mediums. As a designer, Catarina’s inspiration comes from nature and raw materials, and specifically, their ability to offer multiple possibilities for shapes and textures - from the deeply special to the everyday. Barro is a handmade pendant that quite literally starts from the earth of Oaxaca, and uses age-old, region-specific techniques to create something truly beautiful and unique. A clay pendant and a hand-blown glass shade are a stunning marriage of natural materials and the result is a handmade piece of art.
Our pendant lamps are two unique statement pieces. The first is a handmade hub made from burnished red and tan clay, combined with a transparent, hand blown glass shade. The second brings to the foreground a traditional charcoal tone produced in the firing process specific to the Oaxacan area called barro negro, and is combined with a smoked glass shade.
