Condesa Collection — T&CO

The Condesa Collection is a series of bespoke furniture pieces for a private residence in Mexico City.

Mesa Condesa is a wood table consisting of six solid 40mm thick pieces of oak. The pieces slot together without any mechanical fixings or hidden steel plates, and are held in place by expert craftsmanship and gravity. Large in size and minimal in design, Mesa Condesa is a table of beautiful materiality with a robust presence appropriate for many uses including dining, exhibition and as a worktop.

Banco Condesa is a bench that compliments Mesa Condesa in its proportions and structural clarity. Its dimensions allow it to either nestle between the legs of the table, or to work in tandem to provide seating for one full length of the table. Banco Condesa is made of solid 30mm thick oak fixed together as a single object.

Librero Condesa is a bookcase made of pink concrete and white oak. Both the concrete vertical supports and spacing between wooden horizontal shelves reduce towards the top providing different sized spaces for storage or display. The concrete pieces have three sets of geometric symbols imprinted on one side — each one carrying a special cultural significance.

Lampara Condesa is a pendant lamp intended to float above Mesa Condesa. The lamp hangs with minimal tension cables and uses an energy efficient LED strip light to provide a warm, candlelit glow. A simple rectangular housing is wrapped in layers of crinkled translucent paper to further diffuse light and convey an organic, handmade quality.
