Loom
New York City 2024
“Weave to heal wounds” is a phrase heard on the streets during March in several Latin American countries. In many places, weaving has become a feminist political act. On March 8th, International Women’s Day, women march—some of them weaving as they go, transforming a symbol often associated with stereotypes into an act of healing the deep wounds inflicted by machismo in these societies. Loom draws inspiration from this practice, featuring a weave made of glass—a material as delicate as the past of many individuals, yet shaped into a form that becomes remarkably strong: a weave.
The design incorporates mirrored elements, creating the effect of a loom, where the resilience of the glass enables the creation of new weavings in the negative space. Loom redefines the essence of furniture, transforming it into a powerful medium of empowerment and healing, the evolving design speaks directly to its users, offering versatile and deeply meaningful connections beyond a traditional function.
