Designer Manu Bañó, the co-founder of EWE Studio and an Esrawe Studio associate, has introduced his first product under his own name ? a lamp made from raw metal that can be assembled by hand.
The OBJ-01 light is made from laser-cut stainless steel, steel or brass and manually assembled using a rubber hammer.
The lamp consists of a rectangle, a circle and a cylinder
Bañó came up with the design through working with materials he already had at home, mainly recycled cardboard from shipping boxes, before graduating to metal. "I started with complex designs that I gradually discarded due to the impossibility of going to the production workshops," he explained.
"I ended up stripping away the complexity of the design and keeping the essentials. I decided to work just with one material and one industrial process which I was familiar with; metal and laser cutting."
