Meet Lucia Echavarría, Designer of Magnetic Midnight, Bogota

Can you tell us about what or who inspires you?
I find inspiration everywhere and from many different sources because in my head I am always designing! It can be the composition or colours in a painting, the texture or quality of a particular material, the structure or history of a building, the geometry and beauty in nature, literature, popular culture, everyday objects. Travelling and discovering new places is also always a big source of inspiration, but ultimately what inspires me the most is craft itself. For that, Colombia is an endless source of inspiration because of the diversity of its regions and traditions, which explains the wide variety of materials and techniques.

What is your best tip for decorating your home?
I love buying things when I travel, because I am obsessed with exploring local crafts, but also because it’s nice to have things around that bring back memories… The best tip is to always be
adding objects or changing thing around, what’s fun about decorating your home is that it is a process… it should never feel fully finished!
