Esrawe Showroom
New collaborative space in Mexico City focused on design, furniture, limited editions and art.
ESRAWE is a platform that promotes collaborations between designers and creatives with whom it participates. ESRAWE integrates in this first exhibition iconic pieces of limited editions from VISSIO, EWE and Héctor Esrawe’s own work, as well as high-design furniture from ESRAWE Studio and young designers such as Manu Bañó. It also presents in alliance with the Arróniz Gallery, a selection of national and international artists.
Héctor Esrawe
Esrawe’s designs consist of furniture, object, interior design, architecture, public space installations, museography and Limited Editions: Sculptural collectible pieces in numbered series ranging from 7 to 15 pieces per edition.
The beauty and innovation of Hector’s work lies in the understanding of the value of his cultural heritage, which allows him to translate it into new languages and possibilities. He works hand in hand with small craft workshops through a horizontal collaboration. He values perfection as much as the accident embedded in a craft process, finding implicit beauty in both.
Hector firmly believes in collaboration and multidisciplinary interaction. He is founder of Esrawe Studio and co-founder of EWE, VISSIO and MASA, which aim to promote Mexican collectible design.

Nouvel is one of the leading custom glass workshops in America. VISSIO pieces reinterpret glass to challenge and ignite the relationship between concept, form and utility – beautifully.
Manu Bañó
OBJ-01 is an understandable simple gesture, an object that needs no explanation. At a glance, it reveals its material, its manufacturing process, its function and its use. Pure geometric figures build the lighting fixture; a rectangle, a circle and a cylinder at the back which contains the LED light spot. The circle, when cut out, adopts the function of a screen and can rotate 360° to direct the light at will. OBJ-01 is the first solo work by the Valencian designer, resident in Mexico City, Manu Bañó, who is co-founder of the design studio EWE and Associate of the renowned furniture, interior design and architecture firm, Esrawe Studio, in Mexico City.
