Lucia Echavarria’s Magnetic Midnight Maison: A personal anthology of Colombian craft is a collection of over 120 one-of-kind, handmade pieces, which culminates after 3 years of research by the designer into traditional Colombian crafts aesthetics and techniques, showcasing the work of over 80 artisans across 10 regions in Colombia who specialise in more than 12 distinct crafting styles and methods.
Fascinated by the material culture of her home country, Echavarria’s project has evolved from her exploration of artisanal practices. The collection finds inspiration in the intrinsic beauty of craft, its manual production processes and the diversity of materials and techniques used to facilitate them. Echavarria’s deep respect and understanding of the history and cultural significance of each craft, and the people and communities that have kept them alive over time, enables her designs to embrace the traditional motifs and patterns of the applied technique whilst staying true to their provenance.
32 St. George at LAMB is pleased to present Lucia Echavarria’s debut furniture collection.
