Description
EWE Studio collaborated with Nouvel Limited to produce the special golden edition of Magma lighting sculptures for Curio/ Design Miami, Basel. 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.
Limited edition of 7 pieces.
EWE Studio was founded in 2017 by Héctor Esrawe.
Joined by Hector, gallery owner Age Salajõe and designer Manuel Bañó.

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican “Toba volcánica” stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement.
The contrast between porous textures and smooth dark red underlines the studios contemporary approach on traditional materials and craft. The connecting components between the sculptural stone elements and the aluminium parts originate from an intensive research of linking unique handmade shapes with industrial parts.
