Alcocer

Alcocer is the debut furniture collection from OHLA Studio, conceived by Giulia Zink and Mat Trumbull in San Miguel de Allende as a tribute to Mexican craft.

The collection draws from two traditions that rarely meet: the pre-Hispanic Tarascan metalsmithing of Michoacan, where copper was worked into ceremonial objects, and the stone-carving of colonial church architecture that shaped 19th-century Mexican furniture. Both inform a vocabulary of organic contours and materials that retain their origins.

Pieces such as the Antica chandelier and floor lamp translate the copper-work tradition into contemporary lighting, their conical shades shaped with a characteristic wavy rim. The Lupita Dining Chair reads a carved colonial church bench through a minimalist aluminium frame. The Paulín Coffee Table takes the process further: an original painting cast directly in aluminium.
