IGNEA: The Evolution of Handcrafted Stone Products
February 16, 2025
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
The story of IGNEA began in San Lucas Evangelista, Jalisco, where a young craftsman, José de Jesús Rodríguez Landino, learned the ancient art of stone carving. His dedication to the craft led to the creation of a family business that spans generations, preserving the tradition of handcrafted molcajetes and other stone-based products.
Innovation Meets Tradition
As the demand for traditional molcajetes declined, the Rodríguez family introduced a new vision. By incorporating modern design elements and experimenting with materials, IGNEA transformed a historical artifact into contemporary, functional pieces. Today, the brand offers a diverse selection of handcrafted stone products, from elegant tequileros to artistic mosaics.
Expanding into Global Markets
With a deep respect for tradition and an eye for innovation, IGNEA has expanded beyond its local origins. The company now supplies custom stone pieces to high-end restaurants, boutique hotels, and international design galleries, positioning itself as a leader in handcrafted stone artistry.
