Founded in 2013 with a showroom and production located in Mexico City. We are a team of designers, engineers and makers based in Mexico and Austria.
The idea of working with Mexican craft started with a trip to Oaxaca in 2009 where David saw artisans work with “Barro Negro” for the first time. He immediately started working and experimenting with the material, which led to his first collection. Since then we, as a Studio, have been committed to the creation of design objects, which are both beautifully crafted and accessible.
We combine traditional materials and crafts with our passion for perfection. The deep respect for materials and for craftsmen drives us as a brand to redefine Mexican craft.
What does studio davidpompa stand for?
At Studio davidpompa we love to challenge materials and to unwrap their intriguing nature, showing the beauty of imperfection. Developing original objects with an honest and rich character drives us as a brand. Our aim is to reinterpret our culture, to have a deeper understanding of our history, expressed in the transformation of materials with a timeless visual language.
We are motivated by strong personal relationships with the most talented people, exchanging knowledge within various disciplines, using design as a conversation. For us having transparency in our work and every step of our production is essential.
As a team we share a meaningful purpose and thrive to work within an exciting environment.
