      Studio Ejarque and our Leaky Lamp II, part of SHINE, the 2026 NYCxDESIGN Festival exhibition presented at The Seaport from May 14–20, 2026. Organized in partnership with COOL HUNTING, sponsored by Kikkerland Design, and curated by Harry Allen, the exhibition brought together more than 70 designers presenting original lighting pieces exploring the intersections of craft, technology, personal expression, and function.

      Our Leaky Lamp II is a piece inspired by some of the last remaining gas streetlights still found throughout New York City. The work continues our ongoing exploration of objects that appear to exist in a constant state of transformation — situated somewhere between furniture, light, and sculpture — while reflecting our interest in atmosphere, material evolution, and ambiguous forms.

      Developed using our Graphite Bioplastic, the lamp also formed part of our broader research into alternative materials and experimental production processes. Through its texture, surface, and diffused light quality, the piece investigates how sustainable materials can generate new visual and emotional languages within contemporary design practice.

        As part of the official festival program, SHINE transformed the historic Seaport district into a platform for contemporary lighting and collectible design, presenting a wide range of approaches to light as both a functional and sculptural medium. Our participation in the exhibition continued our ongoing presence within NYCxDESIGN and our dialogue with the international design community in New York.

          Always a privilege to be part of NYCxDESIGN, this May 2026, Studio Ejarque participated in One Night Stand: What We Bring to Bed, a group exhibition presented by the American Design Club exploring contemporary perspectives on intimacy, rest, and domestic space.

      This marks the third consecutive year our studio has been part of NYCxDESIGN, continuing an ongoing dialogue with the city’s international design community through exhibitions and collaborative projects presented during the festival.

      On this occasion, we presented the Forest Nightstand, a piece inspired by the atmosphere of twilight in the woods — the fleeting moment when light filters through the trees and shadows gradually merge with the landscape. Conceived as an object that evokes shelter and quiet presence, the project reflects on the bedside as a deeply personal space shaped by closeness, ritual, and rest.

      Presented in New York as part of the official festival program, the exhibition brought together an international selection of designers and studios working across furniture, objects, and experimental design practices, offering multiple interpretations of the emotional and symbolic dimensions of the bedroom environment.

     Studio Ejarque took part in the first edition of FORMA Design Fair, held in Madrid from March 5 to 8 as part of Madrid Design Festival—an experience that has become a key moment in the studio’s trajectory.

     As previously announced, the fair marked the first presentation of Leaky Collection in Spain, following its international tour throughout 2025 across major fairs in Milan, Frankfurt, Stockholm and New York. Its arrival in Madrid did not go unnoticed, as the collection sparked strong interest among visitors and professionals alike, generating conversation around its distinctive material and conceptual approach.

     FORMA provided an especially stimulating context. As a pioneering fair in Spain dedicated to collectible design, it brought together a highly curated selection of proposals, establishing itself from its very first edition as a relevant platform within Madrid Design Festival.

     For the studio, this participation also carried a personal dimension. It was the first time Studio Ejarque exhibited at home—an opportunity to share directly its processes, concerns, and above all its work with a local audience. Visitors were able not only to experience the pieces, but also to engage with their most tangible dimension: touching the graphite bioplastic, observing how light interacts with its surfaces, and discovering the multiple facets and nuances that define the collection.

     FORMA also became a space for encounter. Meeting collaborators and professionals in person, as well as building new connections within the Spanish design community, was a fundamental part of the experience—a community the studio feels deeply connected to, even as it operates internationally.

     The high attendance and the overall quality of the exhibited works confirmed the success of this first edition. For Studio Ejarque, participating in FORMA was not only about bringing Leaky Collection home, but also about opening new dialogues with the local context and continuing to expand its practice from there.

     This March, Studio Ejarque will take part in FORMA Design Fair, within the framework of Madrid Design Festival, from March 5 to 8 in Madrid.

     For this special occasion, we will present Leaky Collection for the first time in Spain, following its international tour throughout 2025. The collection has been exhibited across Europe and the United States, with stops in Milan, Frankfurt, Stockholm and New York, where it engaged with different contexts and audiences, gradually building its discourse around materiality and controlled imperfection.

     Bringing Leaky Collection to Madrid marks an important milestone for the studio. It is the first time Studio Ejarque exhibits at home, and doing so within Madrid Design Festival makes the moment even more meaningful. Returning with a body of work that has already travelled internationally allows us to reframe it within our own cultural context.

     In addition to the core pieces of the collection, we will unveil new works that have not been previously exhibited. These new pieces further expand the research behind Leaky Collection, continuing its exploration while introducing subtle evolutions in form and detail.

      We look forward to welcoming you in Madrid and sharing this new chapter of Studio Ejarque with you.
