Above a dining table, the Antica Linear Pendant from the Alcocer collection by OHLA Studio performs a different role than the rest of the Antica series: it addresses a horizontal axis.
A rectangular ceiling canopy suspends a horizontal bar via two thin wires. The bar angles downward at each end, terminating in two conical shades whose rims are hand-formed with the same softly undulating edge found across the entire Antica series. Warm light diffuses from both cones, and the symmetry of the composition gives the fixture a resolved, architectural quality.
The copper throughout the Antica line is sourced from workshop scraps, recovered through the same goldsmithing techniques that Tarascan artisans once applied to ceremonial copper objects. Treated to a pale metallic finish, the material sits in a register closer to pewter than to raw copper.
The linear format positions the Antica Linear Pendant naturally above a dining table or kitchen island. It pairs well with the Lupita Dining Chair and the Paulín Coffee Table from the same Alcocer collection. OHLA Studio, founded by Giulia Zink and Mat Trumbull, launched the Alcocer collection in 2022 from San Miguel de Allende.

About
Ohla Studio
OHLA Studio is a multidisciplinary design studio founded in 2017 by Giulia Zink and Mat Trumbull, based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The Italian-American duo works across art direction, interior design, and landscape design, with a practice rooted in close collaboration with local artisans and centuries-old craft traditions.
Their work is guided by a single conviction: "We manifest age-old visions with contemporary possibilities." Each piece begins as a metaphor, a formal idea resolved through traditional techniques including stone carving, goldsmithing, and metal casting, with references ranging from Fabergé jewelry and Mayan stone relics to Italian travertine quarries. Materials are chosen for their sensory presence: cast aluminum, local travertine, bronze, ceramics, copper, and leather.
The studio relocated to San Miguel de Allende during the COVID-19 pandemic, a move that proved formative. Embedded in a city with deep craft traditions, OHLA Studio expanded into collectible furniture, launching the Alcocer collection in 2022. The Alcocer pieces were introduced at the Unno Gallery in Mexico City in February 2023, marking the studio's first foray into exhibition-scale furniture. The practice also extends to residential and hospitality projects: the Sin Nombre residence and gallery in San Miguel de Allende, estates in Napa, California, and boutique hotels in Mérida.
Collectible works by OHLA Studio on Monde Singulier include pieces from the Alcocer collection, each handcrafted in collaboration with artisans in San Miguel de Allende.
