EWE Studio in collaboration with Nouvel Limited produced a special golden edition of Magma lighting fixtures for Design. The process began with creating molds varying in size and scale, hand carved in volcanic stone by local stonemasons. The volcanic stone was chosen for the molds as it is not affected by the heat of the blown glass, due to its origin. Being an artisanal process, the shape, thickness and tonality differs, as a result giving unique characteristics to each one of the Magma ‘bubbles’. The ethereal golden light is generated through acid finish that was applied on the amber glass surface, together with the hand hammered brass surface contained within the bubbles. About EWE Studio EWE is a design studio based in Mexico City, devoted to the preservation and advancement of Mexico’s rich artisan heritage, while embracing new mediums and languages for the execution of limited-edition sculptural and functional objects. With a desire to reflect tradition as part of the natural flow of design, EWE praises diverse techniques, blends primitive roughness with pristine surfaces, and uses natural empathic materials that appeal to the senses. Mexican history is EWE’s inspiration for forging new ideas that have substance and meaning. EWE Studio was founded by Manu Bañó, Age Salajõe and Héctor Esrawe in 2017. Since then the studio has exhibited at Zona Maco Art Fair 2018 & 2019, Design Miami/ Basel , Switzerland 2018 and at Abierto Mexicano de Diseño in Mexico City the same year, where they held their solo exhibition ‘Masa Crítica’. The show received international recognition and welcomed over 3,000 guests within two weeks, despite to taking place in the city’s one of the most dangerous neighborhoods. In 2019, EWE exhibited with MASA Galeria at their inaugural exhibition ‘Collective/ Collectible’ as well as the galleries ’Smalls’ show, and at their latest exhibition ‘Recover/Uncover’ in February 2020 in Mexico City. EWE Studio shows its work with The Future Perfect and Galerie Half...

"Flora" vessel / bowl - cast from solid bronze bowl with wood grain and gold bronze Patina. Inspired by silhouettes found in nature, CHAABAN sought to create a line of unique bronzewares and premium home furnishings. Our collection has been hand-crafted with a specific focus on capturing the details seen in branches, trunks, and barks. Natural edges, grains, splits, and cracks are interpreted and preserved using traditional bronze casting methods, successfully blending art and function with the permanence of bronze. Introduced to the world of design in 2016, Brian Chaaban has spent the past few years curating a collection of premium bronzewares. Pulling inspiration from the natural beauty surrounding his hometown of Los Angeles, his self-titled collection “CHAABAN” focuses on forms, shapes, and details found in nature. “I have always been drawn to the outdoors– whether it be through hiking trails or swimming in the ocean, there is such an indescribably tranquil energy about our natural world.” – Brian Capturing and preserving this natural energy has been the ethos behind each piece in our bronze line, most of which begin from a hand-carved block of wood. Upon perfecting the original model, the piece finds its following form when cast in solid bronze, using a nearly 6000-year-old method known as lost wax casting. Once cast, we hand-patinate each piece until it is then ready to be released into the world for adornment. Artistic inspiration for the collection is drawn from the raw and brutalist styles of Paul Evans and Harry Balmer as well as the modernism sculptures...
