Magnetic Midnight Maison:
A personal anthology of Colombian craft
Until November 2024
32 St. George at LAMB
32 St. George Street, London W1S 2EA
Lucia Echavarria9s Magnetic Midnight Maison: A personal anthology of Colombian craft is a collection of over 120 one-of-kind, handmade pieces,
which culminates after 3 years of research by the designer into traditional Colombian craft aesthetics and techniques. Echavarria9s 32 St. George at
LAMB installation, which is situated in the heart of Mayfair, showcases the work of over 80 artisans across 10 regions in Colombia who specialise in
more than 12 distinct crafting styles and methods.
Fascinated by the material culture of her home country, Echavarria9s project has evolved from her exploration of artisanal practices. The result is
an anthology of Colombian craft, where visitors are invited to move freely within the space to experience the practical utility and visionary design
aesthetics of Echavarria9s furniture. Through close collaboration with 32 St. George at LAMB and its founder Lucinda Bellm, Magnetic Midnight
Maison will be a yearlong installation at the gallery. The collection will be accompanied by a catalogue designed and published by Mestiza Estudio
and photographs by Tinko Czetwertynski, delving into the processes and in昀uences of Colombian craft on Echavarria9s collection debut.
Echavarria is the founder and designer of Magnetic Midnight, a lifestyle brand of statement pieces
that re昀ect a unique aesthetic imbued with a love for tradition and craftmanship.
