Palitos

'Palitos' is a series of lamps which explores the use of found materials around us. Giving a new life to old fruit crates – leftovers from local shops, but in this case the process has developed into a low-tech production.

'Palitos' [spanish for 'little sticks] are lamps of contrasts. The wooden chaos and the simple metal lines. The fragile translucent wood which is torn down to pieces by hand and the solid powder casted steel which needs powerful tools to be bent.
