About the Item

Established in 2000 in Bogotá, Colombia, Hechizoo is a weaving atelier renowned for its custom-made textiles that transcend conventional boundaries. Lizarazo, a self-taught weaver with a background in architecture from Los Andes University, brings a unique perspective to the intersection of heritage and innovation in textile art. In the context of Hechizoo's overarching philosophy, the "Copper Pouf" is a manifestation of Lizarazo's inventive approach to soft architecture. With a brilliant copper finish and woven from Werregue natural fiber, this coiled seat becomes a testament to the ingenious integration of indigenous organic fibers with contemporary materials. The pouf, measuring 16.5" in height and boasting a diameter of 28", goes beyond its utilitarian purpose, embodying the transformative nature of Hechizoo's textiles. Informed by Lizarazo's architectural background and exposure to innovative construction methods during his time in France, the Copper Pouf stands as a radiant example of "soft architecture." The material properties of Werregue fiber and copper take on new dimensions, filtering and reflecting light to create a dynamic interplay between form and function. As part of Hechizoo’s solo exhibition, "Original Sin," the Copper Pouf contributes to a visual dialogue that transcends epochs. Lizarazo's creations redefine the utility of textile products, influencing visual aesthetics and tactile experiences. The pouf becomes a bridge between tradition and contemporaneity, embodying Hechizoo's deft mix of cultural references, innovative design, and the skilled techniques used in their creation. It is not merely a seat; it is a sensory and visual experience—a piece of "soft architecture" that transforms spaces and resonates with the delicate balance between humans and nature.
