"Before we really had an idea of where we wanted to go in terms
of shapes and forms, we played with color palette," remembers
Aviva. "We were [attracted] to Fernando Botero's paintings and to
his use of flat, bold color. Most especially, it was his painting of 'La
Primera Dama' — which had been hanging out on our inspiration
board — that kept pulling us in. So that's where we started riffing
from."
As a result, the lamps are available in five different saturated jewel-
toned hues — Almendra, Mora, Palma, Cobalto and Negro — in
three styles: Capa Pendant, which provides indirect lighting; Doma
Pendant; and Noma, which is interchangeable as a sconce/semi-
flush mount.
With brushed brass hardware and a dimmable LED lightbulb, each
piece consists of natural grain board-formed leather, following the
same formation techniques as those used in crafting saddles.
