The Blooming Branches Collection

The Blooming Branches Collection

Permeated by the English creative approach and inspired by Mexicoʼs artisanal heritage, The Blooming Branches collection brings together the best of two worlds and where Valentinaʼs creativity wonders.

Clissett Wood lies five miles north of Ledbury in idyllic Herefordshire countryside. Here is where Valentina was invited in 2012 to do a week course in green woodwork and chair-making organized by Designerblock and Bodging Milano and under the guidance of Mrs. Gudrun Leitz.
It was during her experience in the woods were she collected some interesting tree branches that called her attention. Wanting to preserve them, months later Valentina took those same tree branches back to her native Mexico City where she casted them and reproduced the pieces in multicolour stoneware ceramics.

Today we are introduced to this crossover and creative design project where English nature meets Mexican traditional craft resulting in a beautiful and poetic collection of lamps and sculptural ceramic pieces.

Each ceramic piece has been individually casted, fired and glazed. From classy monochrome and colourful pop to sexy metallicʼs. The lamp-stands are made out of solid wood, bee waxed or lacquered finish. The lampshades are presented in a great variety of shapes and lushly fabrics. A lighting collecting that respond to the delights of designart enthusiast and where form follows fiction.
