The ANDEAN X Museo Casa del Alabado collection pays tribute to Ecuador's ancient heritage of materials, craftsmanship, and iconography by thoughtfully reimagining artefacts from its permanent collection into beautiful home accessories for contemporary living—a manifestation of ANDEAN's mission to preserve and celebrate Ecuador’s diverse cultural legacy.
The collection features organic humanized forms meticulously handcrafted in durable slip-casted ceramics, adorned with a durable matte black glaze reminiscent of the traditional barro negro. Delicate accents in gold luster capture the cultural essence of the pre-Columbian era in form and detail, conveying the significance of gold and the sun in the region’s ancestral communities.
