Lana Collection is an exploration of contrast between the past and the future, the still and the living, of ancient materials and techniques in a futuristic context. It explores the contrast between the hand crafted and the streamlined, seeking the portrayal of a Post Human Utopia. Agnes Studio imagines the object as an alternate evolution of Mesoamerican symbolism in Pre-Columbian architecture and design. 

Inspired by the clouds, the mist and the ethereal ambiance that almost rituallisticaly embrace the Mountain Ranges of Momostenango every afternoon. The Lana (wool in spanish) chair explores the use of the traditional Momostenango Wool in a new context, this wool is a special virgin Wool from the Momostenango, a mistical and remote village known for its centuries old wool work in the Guatemalan Highlands.

We pay homage to this tradition by creating a chair that phisicaly and metaphoricaly captures the escence of Momostengo with its wool as its clouds softly contouring the chair’s curved shape with concentric lines, that allows for the wool flow gracefully and become a soft refuge, a dreamscape that comforts you as you let the chair embrace you.
