The story
The Antica Sconce belongs to the Alcocer collection by OHLA Studio, a series of copper lighting pieces rooted in pre-Hispanic metalsmithing traditions from Michoácán, Mexico.
Wall-mounted, the sconce projects a cylindrical stem topped by a shallow conical shade whose rim is hand-formed into a softly irregular, wave-like edge. That undulating rim is the formal signature of the Antica line, present in the same restrained variation across floor lamps, pendants, and table lamps. The warm glow from within the shade plays against the pale silver exterior of the metal.
The copper used in every Antica piece comes from recycled workshop scraps, recovered and worked by artisan goldsmiths applying techniques drawn from Tarascan metalwork traditions. Indigenous communities in the Michoácán region mined and worked copper for centuries before these skills found expression in the Alcocer collection. The finish departs from copper's traditional warm tone, treated to a brushed silver-grey that reads architectural rather than decorative.
As a wall-mounted light, the Antica Sconce suits corridors, dining rooms, or bedside positions. Within the Alcocer collection, it shares its craft story with the Antica Chandelier, the Antica Floor Lamp, and all other pieces in the series, made by local artisans in collaboration with OHLA Studio and launched in 2022 by Giulia Zink and Mat Trumbull.
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.
