The Arte/Sano ÷ Artists Biennial, organized by the Museum of Popular Art in Mexico City to foster dialogue between artists and artisans, is now celebrating its seventh edition. Lladró has revealed its participation in this cultural event with its Firefly lamp, designed in collaboration with Mexican artist Olga Hanono. The piece is crafted as a Special Edition featuring an exclusive lampshade adorned with beadwork, showcasing one of the traditional techniques of the Wixárika people.

The amalgamation of Huichol art, porcelain craftsmanship, and design highlights the cultural value and innovative spirit of this significant creative synergy. In addition to being part of the exhibition, Lladró will donate this unique piece to the fund promoted by the Museum of Popular Art to support the preservation of artisanal crafts in Mexico.

The version created in collaboration with the Mexican designer Olga Hanono is not only meticulously crafted by hand in porcelain, but also stands out for its unexpected chromatic range and finishes. Cool colors such as blue or anthracite grays are harmoniously combined with the warmth of copper and gold, presented in both glossy and matte finishes. Adding to the uniqueness of these lamps is the personalization with ancestral techniques of the Wixárika people.

The lampshade of the piece, to be showcased at the Arte/Sano Biennial, is crafted by artisans from the Kauyumare association, dedicated to promoting and valuing the art of the commonly known «Huichol.» This collaboration not only highlights the cultural heritage of the Wixárika community but also brings a touch of their traditional techniques to contemporary design.
