 “Grano de café” (Coffee Bean) - Handmade Collective Glass Art Figure 
 
The cultivation of coffee plays a major role in Salvadoran culture. Coffee production has shaped El Salvador’s economy for over a century, with 80% of El Salvador’s forests being involved in shade coffee production. This piece features the coffee plant, with the coffee fruit hanging from a branch. What we recognize as a coffee bean is inside this fruit, but Salvadorans are familiar with the fruit itself, given that El Salvador’s climate is perfect for its cultivation. This piece by Margarita Llort acknowledges the importance of coffee to our small country. 
 

El Salvador’s flora and fauna are the focus of Margarita Llort’s VitroNATURA collection, highlighting through intense colors and mystifying textures the features of El Salvador´s vivid wildlife. Margarita Llort’s pieces elegantly capture the often forgotten natural landscape of the unexpectedly diverse Central American country.

 
Help protect El Salvador´s biodiversity. When you purchase a piece from the VitroNATURA collection 25% of the proceeds go to SalvaNATURA Fundacion Ecologica, a not-for-profit organization devoted to preserving El Salvador´s natural habitat and animal diversity. Additionally, Vitrales de El Salvador recycles and upcycles whenever possible, implementing a “Zero Waste” approach to production. All of the left-over glass from large projects is creatively used in new items. Every purchase is kind to our planet!
