Fire, Form, and Mirrors: Studio Ejarque at Frankfurt’s Talents Platform

     Frankfurt, February 2025 — Following its European debut in Stockholm, Studio Ejarque continued its journey through the continent’s leading design fairs with a strong presence at Ambiente Frankfurt 2025. As part of Talents, the fair’s curated platform for emerging designers, the studio joined a vibrant and forward-thinking group.

      Building on the momentum from Greenhouse at Stockholm Furniture Fair, Studio Ejarque once again presented its debut collection, El Fuego—a poetic exploration of transformation and materiality, centered on fire as a symbol. But for Frankfurt, the collection evolved.

     Alongside the original sculptural lighting pieces, which had drawn wide attention in Sweden, the studio unveiled new additions: a series of mirrors integrating the graphite-based bioplastic and a standout furniture piece—a hand-upholstered pouf crafted entirely in the same material, cured to resemble leather.

     The graphite bioplastic, developed by Pablo Ejarque-González in 2024, continued to spark curiosity. Visitors were intrigued not only by its experimental texture and visual impact, but also by the sustainable processes behind it. The Leaky Lamps, with their flowing forms and semi-translucent surfaces, were again a highlight—acting as both visual anchor and conceptual heart of the studio’s presentation.

     Frankfurt proved to be a key platform for dialogue. With many design professionals, journalists, and trend forecasters passing through the fair, Ambiente provided Studio Ejarque with valuable exposure to the European design landscape. 

     As one of Europe’s most influential design events, Ambiente confirmed the studio’s place in the growing conversation around material experimentation and emotional design. And while El Fuego made its mark in both Stockholm and Frankfurt, it continues to evolve—both through new pieces and new interpretations.
