Quintessenza envisions architecture in its purest state, conceiving it as the essential trace of a memory that interlocks with ancient geometrical principles and sensations aroused by vivid moments. This untainted concept is materialized through clean lines, giving birth to a quintessential form.

Its pieces aim to reproduce the mind’s fundamental vision, using light, texture and weight. They are hand-carved —for this is how ancient sculptors brought their works to life— and made of materials originated in Mexico. Lava stone, for example, is the basis of each sculpture, in the same way ancient cultures used it for their pyramid foundations. The values giving these elements its primordial use are translated.
