nuscaa collection

Nuscaa recalls the innate connection between Earth and humanity, the awe that this grand spirit stirred on Pre-hispanic consciousness. Through the use of spaces and fragmented lines that emulate life’s primal forms, this collection portrays nature, along with all its living beings, as a source of conflicting yet co-creating forces —light and darkness, sun and shadow, chaos and order—, a tender and at the same time tempestuous mother that becomes the reflection of mankind’s unruly spirit.

Jade, lava rock, casted bronze, onyx and black marble are some of the foundations of this sacred retelling: not merely design materials, but priceless treasures recovered from Earth’s deepest and most secret rooms. Jewels of yore.
