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 Frecuencia Bench is constructed from a singular silhouette, articulated through subtle variations in height and length that introduce both structural clarity and visual cadence. Formed from continuous bent steel bars, the bench vibrates visually along its span—its polished surfaces reflecting light in shifting patterns, giving the impression of a form in flux or gently dissolving.
Repetition becomes the defining gesture: the multiplied linear elements shape the bench’s volume while evoking a sense of perpetual motion—an endless, functional vibration rendered visible. Negative space plays a vital role, allowing the form to breathe and the rhythm to resonate in its surroundings.
Part of the Frecuencia Collection, the bench extends the series’ exploration of movement, light, and sculptural presence—where function is inseparable from a deeper expression of rhythm and material poetry.
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.
