Eugenia Landaboure, interior designer and furniture designer, presents its line RAICES: several pieces of furniture and objects antique and modern, on which it has worked with Argentine traditional fabrics.
RAICES, wants to spread the traditional fabric of the North Argentina regions showing its potential, its importance, its versatility and its characteristic color.
RAICES, enhances the origins, for this, combines the ancient style of antique chairs with natural fibers hand-woven by the natives of Latin America; transforming them into an object modern and functional.
The Aguayo is a traditional fabric, hand-woven or industrially, made by sheep wool or llama wood, dyed with natural pigments and aniline, whose drawings represent the landscape of some areas of Latin America. This distinctive fabric comes from the northwestern region of Argentina and southern Bolivia. The “mamakollas¨ (indigenous mothers) carry, with the Aguayo, their children on their shoulders. The fabric is thus transformed into an icon of indigenous cultural wealth and sign that shows the roots of indigenous community.
The coat is the cradle of indigenous children, but also symbolizes the effort and work, the fruit of love and earth. The Aguayo is tablecloth covering the table around which the family or the community sits. The Aguayo summarizes and symbolizes the life of the Latin America’s community.
