What davidpompa does

davidpompa is a Mexico City-based artisanal lighting and furniture design studio founded in 2013, producing sculptural lamps and ancillary objects from Mexican heritage materials including Oaxacan barro negro clay, volcanic stone (cantera), handblown recycled glass, woven palm, and brass. The studio employs approximately 10 people and operates a single Mexico City headquarters with a showroom, distributing through direct e-commerce on davidpompa.com (multi-currency pricing in MXN, EUR, USD), a curated international "Where to buy" retail partner network, and event-driven sales at prestige design exhibitions including Milan Alcova, 3daysofdesign Copenhagen, Design Week Mexico, and Mexico City Art Week. Its product portfolio spans multiple collections such as Meta Parallel (black, white, brass), Can and Can Natural (pendant, large, wall, portable variants), Origo battery-powered portable lamps, Amelia table lamps, Cilia pendants and tables, Cupallo wall lamps, Trufa, Ambra, and Lago, with unit prices ranging from roughly 4,500 MXN (~$225) for small portables to over 55,000 MXN (~$2,750) per pendant and pre-configured arrangements exceeding 270,000 MXN (~$13,500). The business model is one-time purchase with custom finishes and made-to-order production (2-6 week lead times) plus minimum order quantities of 20 pieces for special finishes such as Fiorito stone.

The studio serves three primary customer segments: interior designers and architects, high-end residential consumers, and the hospitality industry, with named installations across restaurants, hotels, and showrooms in Mexico, Denmark, Israel, the United States, Italy, and Costa Rica. A dedicated "Professionals" channel provides datasheets and 3D files to specification-driven buyers, reducing friction for commercial project inclusion. Products carry NOM and CE certifications, supporting cross-border sale. Recent commercial activity includes co-presented installations with Danish furniture maker Brdr. Krüger at 3daysofdesign 2026, hospitality collaborations with chef Rosío Sánchez and Contramar, and material co-development with clay specialist 1010° on Barro Natural.

The business is independently held with no disclosed funding history, ownership structure, financial metrics, patents, or AI/technology components. Strategic emphasis is on craftsmanship-led product extensions, international exhibition presence, and selective hospitality partnerships rather than venture-style scaling, positioning davidpompa as a brand- and craft-driven lifestyle design studio.
