ZestaPunta: A Lighting Series Combining Artisan Tradition and Contemporary Design in Basque Country

ZestaPunta: A Lighting Series Combining Artisan Tradition and Contemporary Design in Basque Country

The ZestaPunta lighting collection is a unique approach to Basque design and craftsmanship, inspired by the ancestral techniques and the sport of cesta punta. The collection was created by Basque designers Silvia Ceñal and Pedro Galdon, who wanted to explore the links between different trades and recover traditional methods of craftsmanship. They collaborated with artisan Gabriela Sagarminaga from the Sagarminaga Atelier to create a collection of 8 unique and limited edition luminaires.

The collection combines the textures and shapes of nature with vernacular architecture, creating a connection to the origin and a balance between matter and function. They aimed to bring the tradition back and contextualize the design with the surroundings, with a strong focus on manual and artisanal work. It will be a unique piece of artwork with its inspiration in the land and sea of the Basque Country. The project is not only an attempt to honor the traditional techniques and cesta punta but also to reflect the region’s culture and natural surroundings in their design.
