Leaky Lamp II is part of the Leaky Collection, a body of work reflecting on imperfection, material presence, and the beauty of what feels unique and unstable yet enduring. At its core is a graphite bioplastic, a new biomaterial Pablo Ejarque-González developed in 2024, made entirely from natural ingredients. Its deep black surface evokes the trace of oil—something fragile —while proposing a new aesthetic language for sustainable materials.
The piece is inspired by New York City’s last gas streetlights—their quiet, romantic glow against the night. A delicate glass sphere gathers and diffuses light through infinite bubbles, like a memory suspended in air. It rests on a solid oak base with subtle brass details, grounded yet soft in silhouette. It’s a small homage to the city at dusk—a light that feels both nostalgic and present.
A project by
Pablo Ejarque-González/Studio Ejarque
Spanish designer based in Brooklyn, Pablo seamlessly bridges in each of his peaces the precision of engineering with the expressiveness of art. His background in Industrial Design Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) intertwines with the avant-garde experimentation he cultivated during his MFA in Furniture Design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). This fusion of technical rigor and artistic exploration has shaped his unique approach to contemporary design—where function meets poetry, and materials tell stories.
His work has been showcased at international exhibitions, including ICFF/Wanted Design Manhattan, Design X Rhode Island, and FITUR. In 2025, he took a bold new step in his career, exhibiting in the design capitals of Stockholm,, Milan, and New York City.
For Pablo, design is the place where art meets function, where materials come to life in a delicate balance of technique and emotion.
