Canario – Henequen Hanging Lamp

Henequen is a species of plant from the Agave genus. This plant is native to the state of Yucatan in Mexico, where it was cultivated by the Mayans in pre-Hispanic times. They called it “Ki” in the Mayan language. It was domesticated at that time due to the usefulness of its fibers, especially for the manufacture of ropes and cordage. Even after the conquest, its production and exploitation was so fruitful that it became an important agroindustry, and products derived from henequen began to be sold to increasingly distant places until they reached the American and European markets.

In pali We had the opportunity to work with this fiber called green gold, the process of which consisted of brushing, ironing, and starching, all of this by hand, giving us a spectacular finish.
