THE MATERIAL
Amate has been made in Mexico since pre-contact times and remains part of a living material tradition in Puebla. Its fibrous construction and naturally formed openings give every sheet an expressive surface—whether it is displayed whole or transformed through another process.

PLEASE NOTE
Amate is a handmade natural material. Color, bark fibers, opening patterns, edges, thickness and texture will vary from sheet to sheet. These variations are expected, are not considered defects, and make every sheet unique. Finished artwork, lighting and decorative objects shown in the photographs are examples of possible applications and are not included.
