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.

Standing over two meters tall, this monumental column becomes a pillar of light, projecting ethereal halos into its surroundings. Cartela embraces chance, precision, and material resonance. The repetition of modules and subtle variations in casting highlight the artisanal hand. Light and material coalesce: the structure becomes both container and conduit, turning the functional into the metaphysical.
Cartela is realized as a limited edition or customized commission.

The Gear Side Tables Draw its inspiration from honeycomb cardboard—typically used for structural reinforcement—the tables reinterpret the aleatory vertical striations revealed when the material is cut, translating them into cast aluminum and bronze. The result is a rich interplay of texture, tone, and geometry.
The side tables present a rational an rectilinear expression. Their silhouette and layered composition maintain the essence of the Gear series while asserting a distinct architectural presence.
Bold in proportion and finely executed, the pieces evoke oversized mechanical ornaments, scaled architectural fragments, or abstracted jewelry. Part of the broader Gear series—which includes a table, a desk, and lighting sculptures—these side tables exist at the intersection of utility and poetry, precision and spontaneity. More than functional objects, they are contemplative pieces that shift with the light and subtly transform their surroundings.

Sculptural in presence and precise in execution, the Gear Table reflects Héctor Esrawe’s ongoing exploration of structure, rhythm, and the dialogue between function and form.
Composed of cast-bronze discs, each slightly rotated and carefully polished, the table reveals a layered, stepped geometry that evokes mechanical motion. Along the edges, a honeycomb texture contrasts with the smooth, reflective surfaces above—adding depth, tactility, and a sense of movement.
A central void arcs through each layer, offering glimpses into its inner geometry. More than functional, this opening becomes a gesture of transparency—an invitation to see through the object and into its architectural logic.
The piece draws inspiration from honeycomb cardboard, an industrial material used for reinforcement. When cut, it reveals spontaneous edge patterns with sculptural potential—forms that here evolve into a refined, symbolic presence, evoking tectonics and the quiet drama of erosion and time.
With its mirror-like surface, the table refracts daylight and ambient light, producing shimmering reflections that animate the space and respond to movement. It becomes an ever-shifting presence, blurring the boundary between object and atmosphere.
More than a table, Gear CT bridges industrial inspiration and poetic form—uniting the mechanical with the organic, the functional with the sublime.
The Gear Desk is crafted from cast polished bronze and continues the evolution of the Gear series—a collection that transforms industrial inspiration into sculptural design. Rooted in the structural qualities of honeycomb cardboard, the desk draws from the unpredictable vertical striations revealed when the material is cut. These textures are translated into bronze through layered compositions and refined surfaces that celebrate both precision and chance.
Departing from the radial geometry of other pieces in the series, the desk embraces a more organic silhouette—its contours softened. The result is a form that feels fluid, and monumental. Its undulating lines evoke natural erosion or geological formations, subtly referencing the passage of time and the tension between permanence and transformation.
Though fully functional, the Gear Desk transcends its typology. It stands as a sculptural object—an over-scaled ornament or a relic from an imagined future—bridging the mechanical and the organic, the utilitarian and the poetic. Together with the Gear coffee table, side tables, and light sculptures, it reinforces the series’ commitment to material, technique exploration and the high artisan skill level present in our culture.
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.
