The Cilia Pendant merges handwoven palm with industrial elements, creating a sculptural presence. The tension between the fine threads and metal components keep the shade's form, offering a dynamic contrast between the organic elegance of palma and the structural precision of aluminium. By rotating the palma shade, you can redirect the light, crafting a soft, ambient atmosphere. This combination of craftsmanship and precision creates a design that is architecturally elegant.

Handwoven Palma
Traditional uses
Palm weaving is one of Mexico’s oldest and most iconic crafts, deeply embedded in its cultural history. Traditionally used for essential items like baskets, mats, hats, food containers, and sandals
Zapotitlán
In the arid valleys of Zapotitlán, Puebla, palm weaving is more than a craft—it’s a language passed down through generations.
Crafting process
To prevent breakage, artisans work in caves, where natural humidity keeps the fibers flexible. Many women weave while walking, following a rhythm shaped by years of practice.
Refined technique
Over the past seven years, Studio Davidpompa has collaborated with master craftswomen to refine this technique, creating a fine pattern.
