Clear Magma (L)

Formed by multidisciplinary artists and designers Manuel Bañó, Héctor Esrawe, and artistic director Age Salajõe, EWE is a design studio based in Mexico City. Since 2017, the collective has built a comprehensive body of both functional and decorative sculptural works. Their pieces foster, further develop, and honor Mexico's ongoing artistic and craftsmanship legacy. Anchored in cultural heritage through their concept and attention to materiality, each piece is created and hand-crafted at or near the studio by EWE's team of master artisans.

Drawing inspiration from Mexico’s ancestral artistry dating as far back as 3,000 years, the team of craftsmen at EWE research, experiment, and develop time-honored techniques with innovative technology. Each series unfolds a concept related to their fabrication technique and materials, and brings light to untold stories. The resulting pieces act as portals between the past and the present, the physical and the conceptual.
