Ambra is a beautiful and poetic way to combine two materials as the cantera and copper in one piece, creating different visual levels in a simple and modern object. The subtle shape creates contrast and at the same time a perfect balance with the visual weight of the Cantera. Ambra has a timeless style which fits perfectly in any environment, creating a dramatic light cone. It brings the stone material from the buildings structure into the centre of habitation.
Cantera is a rock out of volcanic ashes and lava. It is created through volcanic explosions. This specific type of canterarosa comes from the regions of San Luis Potosí, Morelia and Zacatecas in Mexico. It is a stone broadly used for structures and local architecture, since the prehispanic era and mainly during the colonial time, in cities all over Mexico. Softness and composition are some of its characteristics which makes it very noble to work with, allowing to carve with precision.
