Lucia Echavarria’s Magnetic Midnight Maison is a collection of over 120 one-of-kind, handmade pieces, which culminates 3 years of research by the designer into traditional Colombian craft 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, Echavarría’s project has evolved from her exploration of artisanal practices.

 

From chairs, sofas and otomans, to lamps, tables, screens and backgammon boards, Magnetic Midnight Maison illuminates the artisanal practices and rich heritage of Colombian techniques, including straw marquetry, Werregue weaving and Sikuani wood carving. Echavarría elaborates on her creative ethos and the motivations: “I have always loved artisanal objects - they are a true material representation of a country’s traditions. I have known and worked with many of the artisans for several years, and it is always an incredible experience working alongside them, learning in more depth about the processes behind the techniques and the materials as well as their own personal stories. Colombia has an immensely rich history and such beautiful crafts, I really wanted to showcase the workmanship and talent that is so intrinsic to the country’s culture.”
