Diamantes Pendant
Our Atzompa Collection is created in the Oaxacan town of Santa María Atzompa, where the pottery-making tradition has roots tracing back to ancient Zapotec culture. Building on this tradition, we formed a partnership with master artisan Eligio Zarate, whose family has for generations worked to bring innovation to this centuries-old craft. Using a red clay that comes from local mountains, the pendant lights in this collection are first given form within custom gesso molds. Emerging from the molds, the repeating openwork designs—which play on motifs that are carved in to the stone at Mitla, the neighboring archeological ruins—are meticulously cut out one by one. Each piece is brushed with a white wash, or dipped in an emerald-hued glaze, and then finished in a kiln firing.

L'Aviva Home
L’Aviva Home is an NYC-based lighting and product design studio. We travel, build relationships, and work with skilled artisans to reimagine age-old traditions through the lens of contemporary design.
Exploring what connects us | Bound by a sharp eye and an adventurous spirit, we find inspiration in the unexpected alchemy of cultures colliding. We honor the ties that bind an object to its origins, and we understand luxury as a way of deeply connecting with the people and the things that surround us.
Creating across cultures | Our collaborations are intimate, exclusive and unscripted. We seek out the most seasoned, skilled artisans and immerse ourselves in the creative process, balancing openness and experimentation with diligent attention to detail. While we revel in the little imperfections that give hand-touched work its distinctive character, we approach every stage of every project with meticulous perfectionism — resulting in collections that are at once raw and refined.
Working hand in hand | A former Creative Director for Travel + Leisure Magazine, Laura Aviva spent years building a network of the world’s best makers before launching l’aviva home. With our collections, we collaborate with a global roster of master artisans. From our studio in New York, our team works with everyone from the design trade to luxury brands to private clients.
