The Gear Cartela marks the genesis of the Gear series—a foundational work that established the conceptual and material vocabulary later explored in the Tables, Desk and Lighting Sculptures.

Cartela distills the honeycomb-cardboard technique foundational to the Gear series into a vertically oriented, planar light sculpture. Visually commanding yet structurally refined, the work is slender in depth and wide in its frontal plane—offering a powerful contrast of presence and restraint.

Crafted in patinated bronze or aluminum, Cartela comprises vertical modules that reveal the iconic random cellular structure reminiscent of honeycomb patterns. As light filters through each module, it catches the edges and refracts a warm, sculptural glow—recalling how light plays across its irregular grid.
