De Palo was created in the late 90's, it is Isabel's oldest collection. At the time, Mexican architecture was strongly influenced by the Guadalajara-born architect
Luis Barragán. Isabel came up with the idea of creating luminaires that could blend with those serene and open spaces. The lamps have geometric silhouettes,
straight lines, robust and natural materials (solid woodor stone) including parchment lampshades with visible leatherstitching. From cylinders or cubes, the light
fixtures evolved and became more complex. New material research was essential to cater to the needs of hospitality projects which required materials resistant
to saltwater. The De Palo line began offering strong fiberglass lampshades with linen finishes, in order to be more durable.
