We developed a deep relationship with the Architect and his family and decided to share his works of art, originally made in Crystal in 24K silver and gold reproductions. Now we present the Pedro Ramírez Vazquéz Collection.
Inspired by the "Vaso Pulquero de Tlatelolco" he designed glass vessels with a similar shape, making a cut that resembles the shape of a maguey.
From this design, he defined that working with glass was like "making sculpture with light", since it is a material in which transparency makes all sides visible at the same time, and depending on the cuts and reflections, the appearance of a The glass piece changes, depending on the viewer and the lighting it receives.
Before his passing, we developed a great relationship with him and his family, and the idea of turning his glass sculptures into gold statues and silver sculptures came to life.
