The project was born from the idea of weaving the space as if it was a textile. Our first weave–based on the descriptions of textiles from the region–can be seen in the first floor, where we find a central prism flanked by four lateral prisms. The central one represents the heart of the universe, while the lateral ones represent the frontiers of space and time, as well as the cardinal points and the sun path. Taking these points as reference, we unfolded our composition towards the walls of the store, where one can appreciate different displays in the form of glass cabinets and cases. All of the displays were exhaustively and meticulously designed for the exhibition of the amber pieces and they are inspired in the different shapes from the textiles of the region. Furthermore, some displays were specially created for the shop to allow the right amount of light to enter for every type of ring, necklace, bracelet, and earrings in the store, making it possible to appreciate the natural beauty of the pieces. The exhibition bordering bands that are adorned with amber reflect its most elegant hues joyously, because they embrace the majestic loom that conquers the double-height ceilings of the jewelry. Such loom is a museographic piece specially weaved for the space by Lucy, an indigenous and expert artisan from Chiapas.
