We are a small independent brand that promotes the Mexican heritage of artisans through contemporary design in a worldwide market & taste. We work in partnership with traditional workshops around the country, many of which have been running for generations, some of them for more than 160 years. Faced with the global environmental crisis, we have taken solace in the ways in which communities across Mexico have for generations created useful objects with natural materials they find around them, & which at the end of the item's useful life can help it to degrade back into the earth. We are proud to be a part of that tradition & believe that an object made with love, thought & knowledge of technique can be reflected in objects that change our way of consumption. The story behind the design of these glasses. The shape of this collection of glasses is manifested from the union of two elements. A cylindrical center & a kind of wavy ring that forms an X shape that in turn refers to the way the ancient Mexicas tied their flowers or canes. There is even a symbol for this ACATL or reed. This form has also been used in architecture, the anahuacalli museum for example, if the central part of the building is observed on the facade, it makes this movement in the shape of an X that the reeds produce when tied to the center with force & this form gives stability to the tie to stay in vertical way. 4 Tumblers - Hand Blown Recycled Glass Acatl, Handmade Glassware Cocktail Green
