Soft Architecture

Friday Feature 

There is an intrinsic transformational quality that defines the textiles of weaving atelier, Hechizoo.

Based in Bogota, Colombia, Jorge Lizarazo, is the creative energy and founder behind the enticing custom weaves that are fashioned into rugs, fabrics and architectural screens.

With a background in architecture, the artist’s work is informed by proportion, structure and the play of light. His inventive use of materials unites indigenous organic fibres with lustrous metal strands and synthetic filaments.The textiles are crafted by hand or on traditional looms and are all splendidly unique in character.

The exotic and lustrous fibre mixings are beguiling not only in their experimental spirit but also in their power to transform the environment they inhabit. The artist believes in redefining the use of material thus giving the textile new properties and allowing it to change a space through its effects.

Through rainbow hues or soft monochromatic palettes, the creations filter and reflect light and have an intense impact on the senses. They are a visual and tactile feast and are crafted to be experienced.

Hechizoo means ‘bewitch’ in Spanish, and truly, the exquisitely crafted textiles tantalize within their intricate eclectic weaves. As soft architecture, the art pieces influence the sense of space through shifts in light and form, shadow and texture.
