Founded by Jorge Lizarazo in 2000, Hechizoo is an innovative textile atelier based in Bogotá, Colombia. Hechizoo (Spanish for “bewitch”) focuses on creating custom rugs out of unexpected materials. Lizarazo was formally trained as an architect, which he believes is at the heart of his textile work. His textiles have an architectural essence to them, both in their heft and in their design. The material used for his textiles can vary immensely. In Ani Rug, Lizarazo brings together metal and nylon to create a rug well suited to a domestic setting. When speaking on this, Lizarazo said, “I always see a material in terms of how I can change its use” [1] — in this goal, he is extremely successful, making a name for himself by bringing a new perspective to an otherwise quotidian object. Dubbed “soft architecture,” these textiles add a further dimension to the space within which they are placed.
