San Juan Teitipac, Oaxaca

The Teitipac Long Fur Lamp is a hanging lamp and was made by the Tejedoras Teitipac artisan group. It is made entirely by hand with fibers recovered from the waste of the mezcal industry.

This technique is not new but it is very limited by its preparation process. Once the maguey stalk is recovered, its production process is in a machine brought from Yucatán. Once extracted, they are combed, gathered into small tassels, spun with the same material and tied to give the texture shown. When finished, it is fixed to the metal base.

The materials are of the highest quality, the finishes and textures are a delight to the touch, and the light that comes from the interior is delicate. A handcrafted piece that stands out for its beauty and technique, recommended to integrate into the interior spaces of homes, boutiques, hotels, and which is an example of the combination of tradition and good taste.

Care: The agave fiber, being of natural origin, changes over time until it takes on a slightly more golden tone. It can be maintained by combing and shaking the coat with your fingers. It is not recommended to use outdoors. The use of LED type luminaires is recommended.
