Hand sconces
Inspired by South American rock paintings, these pieces reference prehistoric murals where hunter-gatherers stenciled handprints on cave walls. The exact purpose of these marks remains unknown, though some scholars interpret them as an expression of the human desire to be remembered. Each lamp is hand-carved from tezontle (red volcanic rock) in Mexico City.

This salt and pepper shaker set explores the connection between primitive societies and an uncertain future in which society could face its own extinction.
In times of uncertainty and change, ancient civilizations placed their faith in primitive symbols and amulets, seeking in them a connection between the divine and the earthly, protection and knowledge, symbolizing the constant vigilance of the unseen.
In a scenario of contemporary societal collapse, the symbols that define our existence could fade, giving rise to a return to amulets and signs that resonate with our primitive nature.
These pieces reflect the idea of this cycle: after our possible extinction, humanity will be forced to restart, gathering fragments of the past to reconfigure its future. What symbols will prevail when information overloads our existence and leads us to collapse? What will we choose to represent ourselves when the cycle begins again?

Hand Sconces by Montserrat Piña Benetts, Mexico City, contemporary. Handmade in tezontle.
Inspired by South American rock paintings, these wall lamps recall prehistoric hand stencils left on cave walls as traces of presence. In Montserrat Piña Benetts’ practice, stone becomes a medium of transformation, where texture, form, and perceptual ambiguity turn a familiar gesture into a sculptural source of light.
Currently on view at Chic by Accident Open Storage in Mexico City.
Produced on demand to collectors worldwide. For acquisitions and details: [email protected]

Fui al V&A East Storehouse @vam_east en Londres para investigar objetos y materialidades desde el contacto directo con las piezas.
A través del sistema Order an Object, pude estudiar una vasija romana del siglo I, un plato diseñado por Ettore Sottsass y una silla de Carlo Bugatti.
El acceso físico a los objetos permite entender decisiones técnicas, usos y contextos que no se revelan en archivo o imagen, un verdadero lujo.
