About the Item
Huesos tapestry by Lilia Corona
One of a kind.
Dimensions: W 100 x D 1 x H 700 cm.
Materials: virgin wool, cotton fabric.
The handmade rug in 100% virgin wool, is made in double-height shaved fabric with sections sculptured and percitho-type terry cloth. With a weight of 2,700 Kgs/m2 of wool, woven on fabric cotton base.
Designed by Lilia Corona, 2016 CDMX for Platalea Studio, Blanco series 2022.
Enveloped in common folklore and unique family mythologies, these objects represent the romanticization of a story familiar to many: the rise of modernism and the urbanization of Mexico. Blanco explores the syncretic symbols, ideologies, and rituals that have emerged in the liminal, magical spaces between rural and urban, native and colonial ways of life.
Platalea studio was born out of a passion for both art and design. We love how both are so intrinsically intertwined in ways that are often too subtle to surmise in our everyday routines. Our goal is to provide a voice for those who are often marginalized or hidden in the shadows. We do this by representing our ideologies through our designs, the materials we pick and the people we choose to build them.
At Platalea, we have composed and exhibited varied collections that range from unique exhibition pieces to dinnerware, rugs, benches, stools and light fixtures. Each piece belongs to a collection that was carefully fleshed out by our artists and designers to give them a fascinating story brimming with history and intent.
Lilia has always had a penchant for making her ideas leap off the page and become physical objects that convey her artistic vision mixed with social intent. She prefers to work with materials and techniques that allow her to create three-dimensional objects that have fun and often unusual shapes that bring a smile and a sense of joy. Lilia’s expertise lies in understanding social and political issues and conveying them through her art and designs. Lilia needs to immerse herself by a topic and build a relationship with the wealth of materials and methods available to her, only then will she start crafting the soul of the piece.
Lilia believes in her art being enjoyed, being tactile, not stationary. Her art is meant to synergize with its environment, it is intended to take on a life of its own after it leaves her workshop. The soul which she has imbued into her art will forever linger, but her pieces are always evolving.
Rodrigo has always had a passion for working with local artisans from remote regions all-over Mexico. He specializes in learning local techniques from artisans to bring his designs to life, all while retaining the tradition and soul of old techniques but with the polish and style of modern design. As the founder of Platalea, Lilia serves as our artistic director. Lilia ensures that the vision and soul of all of our work convey the same message of inclusion and joy in everyday objects.
Rodrigo is a master of materials and processes, and as such, he not only designs but is in charge of production here at Platalea.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
