Title: Set of Two (2) Mid-Century Modern Framed Embossed Leather Pre-Columbian Folk Art by Angel Pazmino, Ecuador, c. 1960's

About: Introducing an extraordinary matching set of embossed leather art by the incomparable furniture designer and artisan Angel Pazmino. Cut from a set of sling chairs by Pazmino this truly one of a kind set is the epitome of 'custom' and 'hand-made'. The frames have been hand-milled from a solid slab of sustainably sourced American black walnut by our carpenters perfectly offsetting the character-rich patina of the embossed leather within depicting, among other Incan symbols, Supay - the Incan god of death and guide to the afterlife.

Angel Pazmino is an Ecuadorian furniture maker who has, in recent years, earned world-wide acclaim for his unlikely merging of pre-Columbian American and Mid-Century Modern design elements into his works. Born in 1926, Pazmino began his woodworking career in 1944 as a cabinet maker. Throughout the 1950's and 60's Pazmino travelled throughout the Americas where he exhibited his work and took inspiration from traditional Ameri-Indian artists and techniques. In the late 1960's he added his second authorial characteristic, incorporating graphic elements from the continent's native cultures reviving, as he put it, “the ancient and aristocratic art of leather embossing,” learning from such artisans as master saddler Ignacito Ortiz.

With their striking depictions of Incan mythology, intricate hand-tooled and embossed saddle-grade leather and a custom, hand-made frames cut from solid black walnut this truly one-of-a-kind set is sure to make a BOLD impression in any space it inhabits and is absolutely arresting from any angle. Ideal for designers and collectors alike searching for authentic folk-art from the Andes region this visually arresting matching set can blend seamlessly against a myriad of design backdrops from Spanish Hacienda to Safari to Boho Chic and is the perfect addition to any collection.

Just as Pazmino merged the design aesthetics of Scandinavian Modern and Spanish Hacienda so too we find these emotive artworks merging the techniques, beliefs and aesthetics of both Spanish and Native American design creating a uniquely original, honest outcome blending both the New and Old Worlds as no one else has ever done. Make them yours today before they're gone forever.
