HOST: A Limited Edition Collection by Esrawe Studio

Hailing from Mexico, Esrawe Studio recently launched a collection of limited edition pieces called HOST. Presented at this year’s Zona Maco 2014, a Latin American contemporary art fair, the collection includes three designs that are based on the act of inhabiting.

Esrawe-Studio-2-OCD-Table

First up is OCD (OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER), a table that is meant to hold all the items you use on a daily basis. The objects are placed within individual trays and describe the habits and preferences of each user, helping to reflect on their own identity. The pieces are made of brass or metal with electrostatic paint.
