‘my studio is now 23 years old – so many, many things have changed! something that hasn’t changed is that I don’t wan’t to define who I am as a designer or what the studio does. I always try to keep every door open and not be categorized.’ – hector esrawe

ana elena mallet curated the exhibit working with manuel bañó from esrawe studio, it takes a look at 30 projects related to furniture, objects and interior design, on display in notebooks, sketches, models and photographs from both private collections and studio archives.

the exhibit explores the ways in which objects or spaces are developed through research, collaboration and the pursuit of impeccable manufacturing to create a sense of pride and belonging from the craftsman, and in this way, keep it alive.
