Description
Arbotante is a luminous and sculptural creation where material becomes a vessel for mystery and contemplation. Designed by Federico Stefanovich, this wall sconce—crafted in bronze or aluminum—evokes the silhouette of a stylized tree or a frozen flame, depending on the viewer’s imagination.
Its organic, almost botanical lines are enhanced by soft, indirect lighting that casts delicate shadows and reveals the raw, hand-worked texture of the metal. The result is an intimate, enveloping atmosphere—where light and form speak in quiet harmony.
Federico Stefanovich is a Mexican designer based in Mexico City, known for his poetic and emotional approach to lighting and furniture. Trained in industrial design at Universidad Iberoamericana, he began his career at the renowned Esrawe Studio before founding his own practice.
His work explores the balance between form, function, and feeling—often drawing inspiration from organic forms found in nature: leaves, seeds, fungi, and subtle landscapes. Using traditional materials like solid wood, brass, and bronze, Stefanovich crafts sculptural pieces that are both tactile and timeless.
One of his most celebrated collections, Folia, created for AGO Projects, demonstrates his deep sensitivity to materiality and light. These fixtures combine hand-forged metals and carved wood to cast a soft, evocative glow—turning practical objects into emotional experiences.

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican “Toba volcánica” stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement.
The contrast between porous textures and smooth dark red underlines the studios contemporary approach on traditional materials and craft. The connecting components between the sculptural stone elements and the aluminium parts originate from an intensive research of linking unique handmade shapes with industrial parts.
