Based in Mexico City, Sten Studio is tackling the beauty and mystery of natural phenomena through the use of crystals in contemporary furniture design and bespoke decorative objects. It was instinctual for the owner and creative director José Miguel Schnaider to be inspired by the vast complexity of our natural world.
In a realm where observing the universe unites us as a global society, Cosmic Relics crafted by Sten Studio engages with the mysteries of space and the cultural legacy of totemism. Totems symbolise connections with the paranormal; they are often seen as spirit guardians or ancestors and they signify a sense of belonging within a group. Numerous cultures attribute divine meanings to specific cosmic phenomena and supernatural events, viewing planetary alignments as profound, transformative moments. This is what inspires the Cosmic Relics totem collection. Each towering piece symbolises the unity and collective identity of our societies and reminds us of the value of nurturing our communal spirit.
The variety of stones used in each work mirrors the vast mineral variety within the universe, and it references the diversity of societies present on our planet. When they align and find their balance, they generate a new, expansive human yet supernatural energy. There are 3 product designs in the collection, namely, Cosmic Relics I, Cosmic Relics II and Cosmic Relics III made from Veracruz travertine, brown onyx, lava stone, red travertine marble, blue sky marble, and Bellagio marble.
