Sculpting Light: Open Showroom During Art Week By EWE Studio
EWE Studio presents “Sculpting Light”, a captivating exhibition that immerses visitors in a luminous exploration of design and craftsmanship. As part of Art Week, the showcase offers an intimate encounter with some of the studio’s most iconic works, reflecting its dedication to materiality, form, and the fusion of tradition with contemporary artistry. The exhibition highlights a meticulously curated selection of lighting sculptures, each exemplifying the unique design language that defines EWE Studio.
At the core of the display are EWE’s signature lighting sculptures, including the Magma series in various sizes and finishes, the ethereal Cumulo in both horizontal and vertical orientations, and the striking Travertine Estelas. These pieces transcend mere functionality, acting as sculptural elements that redefine the relationship between light and space. Their organic silhouettes and tactile surfaces invite engagement, while the soft, diffused glow they emit transforms the environment into an immersive experience. The interplay of light and materiality becomes an exploration of atmosphere and emotion, reinforcing the studio’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of contemporary design.
EWE Studio, based in Mexico City, has established itself as a pioneering force in the realm of collectible design. With a deep respect for Mexico’s diverse artisanal heritage, the studio engages in continuous research and experimentation to honor traditional techniques while reinterpreting them through a modern lens. This approach allows for the creation of pieces that are not only visually striking but also rich in narrative and cultural significance. Each object serves as a bridge between past and present, carrying forward ancestral knowledge while embracing innovative methods and materials.
Founded in 2017 by gallerist Age Salajõe and designers Manuel Bañó and Héctor Esrawe, EWE Studio has positioned itself at the intersection of art, design, and craftsmanship. The studio’s work is characterized by its commitment to excellence, its exploration of materiality, and its ability to evoke a sense of the mystical within the physical. Through its dedication to storytelling and authenticity, EWE Studio continues to shape the dialogue surrounding contemporary Mexican design, offering creations that resonate both aesthetically and conceptually.
With this exhibition, visitors are invited to experience firsthand the poetic harmony of light, form, and materiality that defines EWE’s practice. The collection serves as both a celebration of tradition and a vision for the future, capturing the essence of a studio that remains deeply rooted in history while boldly forging new artistic pathways.
