Mexican lighting company davidpompa designs its new Stone Archive installation that is inspired by volcanic origins. It is a series of light sculptures that fuse ancient stone with aluminum. The Mexican Toba volcánica stone is made from three main materials -- minerals, volcanic debris, and glass.
The debris was created a million years ago when volcanoes erupted and now, it is infused through design to create a unique texture. The installation takes science and aesthetics into consideration as well. It is made for visitors to pause and try to evoke a visualization of time itself. The Ambra Toba light sculpture at the installation invites those that visit to take a single archive folder with them on their way out.
