EWE STUDIO

The EWE Studio Copal side tables are composed by four identical pieces linked together with hidden locks, making the observer feel like three out of the four parts of the table are just touching and hovering in the air. Our stonemason and wood carvers used obsidiana, Tikal green marble, volcanic stone and wood, while creating the pieces. The artisans understand the nature of the materials, working to bring out their unique characteristics and particular properties. 

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.

EWE Studio stools are made of oak wood, Jalapa travertine and Monterrey marble. The stool form becomes an expression of the hand-carved techniques and its materials. It combines a circular pristine base with inner surface being rough and a wide curved tribal top. The works are carved out from one single piece of either wood or stone, leaving no joints.

For the creation of Sincretismo’s Partera chair, EWE Studio looked deep into the past and found its inspiration from the shape of a birthing chair commonly used in Mexico, while making their own abstraction. The chair sits low with integrity on top of its two base legs, the dramatic character and expression is the result of a radical volume that holds a wide horizontal extended seat intersected by a long perpendicular backrest.

The coffee table of EWE Studio is made out six half spheres, three smaller half and three large half spheres, that are assembled together. The table is carved out of Tikal green marble by our stonemasons. The technical complexity of the work is related to its stability, as the upper big spheres are seemingly hovering in the air, resulting in a magnificent visual tension that defies gravity on its cantilever.
