Founded in 2013 and based in Mexico City, David Pompa is a studio made up of designers, engineers, and makers established in Mexico and Austria. David Pompa grew up in both countries and studied product design in London. Over time, the studio has shown a strong interest in traditional materials and techniques. Since its founding, it has remained committed to Mexican culture, which is reflected in the creation of aesthetic and accessible design objects.
For this occasion, they present not only a new exhibition but an immersive experience where visitors wandered, intrigued by dark gray volcanic rocks. This strong contrast between the roughness of the stone and the soft light made the collection visually sharper.
The 'Origo' collection was part of the Design Week Mexico program, showcasing geometry in its purest form. It embodies opposing essences—represented by volcanic rock and an opal glass diffuser—in an exploration of light interacting with the texture of the volcanic stone, revealing its relief and contour: understated and logical. Both materials create a dialogue between light and composition; the spheres function as a double geometry, reflecting the positive and the negative, while reinforcing the fundamental relationship between light and shadow.
