Amate paper, rooted in Mexican tradition, is crafted from the bark of the Jonote tree. Initially soaked or boiled, it undergoes meticulous handwork. The Maya and Aztec civilizations valued this paper for record-keeping and ceremonial cut-outs. The Aztecs referred to the paper as amatl, which is where it gets its name. The deep, original dark brown fibers derive their intensity from the natural color of the harvested bark, leading to subtle variations in each batch. The artisans employ bleaching and dying techniques to create a diverse spectrum of colors in the final amate paper products.

The Ysasi Light Box, utilizes the warm glow of handmade yellow amate paper. The incorporation of yellow amate paper not only serves as a delicate filter for the light but also infuses the surroundings with a soft, golden hue. The yellow amate paper, known for its natural texture, creates a unique and calming atmo- sphere.

"We no longer wake up with the dawn chorus and settle down for the night with the hum of crickets. But just as our circadian rhythms are affected by exposure to natural light, sounds can act as cues for our sense of time and how we feel". We hope that our lamp can bring moments of silence and serenity into your space and serve as a reminder to pause and slow down.
