The work emerges from exploring the thematic connections between the Andean quipu and the world of wine, understanding both as systems that preserve memory, tell stories, and require technical precision and human creativity.

The aim was to integrate the philosophy, values, and identity of a winery with the symbolic power of the quipu, generating a visual piece that unfolds as narrative and sensory experience, linking tradition and contemporaneity.

The installation establishes three lines of reading: creativity and complexity, where the knots reflect the intricate winemaking process that draws on natural resources; communication and memory, evoking wine’s capacity to convey tradition and culture; and the figure of the guide, where the role of the winemaker echoes that of the ancient quipucamayoc as keepers of knowledge.

This descending ensemble transforms the space into a vertical experience.

The quipus emerge from a fissure in the upper level and cross through the different planes, visually and symbolically linking the main floor with the basement.

The reflection on the glazed floor multiplies the perception and creates an ambiguous illusion: what appears to be duplicated is, in fact, continuity. The space expands downward and reveals itself in depth.

The architecture unfolds in layers — surface, reflection, void — and the path stops being linear to become contemplative.

The colors accompany this reading: yellow as energy and inner light; green as a vital link with nature; brown as root and ancestral memory.

Inspired by the sacred Andean serpent, a symbol of transformation, circulation, and balance, this collection proposes works that accompany contemplation, movement, transition, and the flow of space.

AMARU pieces are spatial works that function as contemporary thresholds: elements that mediate, connect, filter, and regulate the architectural experience without fragmenting it.

They are not isolated objects, but a system of pieces designed to coexist with people’s dwelling and movement.

The language of the knot becomes surface.

Here, the knot is fixed to the plane.

It stops hanging or being pulled taut in the air, and instead becomes compacted into a tapestry where structure, rhythm, and memory intertwine.

Each knot builds volume and density. The weave becomes skin: a sensitive surface that holds the time of making and ties it to everyday space.

A limited collection of quipus crafted from natural fibers including chaguar, jute, silk, and cotton. Neck cords, pendants, and finishes in alpaca silver and bronze.

Inspired by ancestral heritage and a sense of belonging to the earth, these pieces seek to merge textile tradition with contemporary fashion, transforming fiber into timeless artistry.

KUNTUR refers to the Andean condor, a sacred bird that dwells in the heights and observes the landscape in its entirety.
Like that flight, the threads of these necklaces descend from the neck and expand outward, unfolding into knotted fibers that connect memory, matter, and landscape.

A collection of twelve unique weavings, conceived to inhabit the body. Enveloping and sculptural, they explore the relationship between the quipu, movement, and presence.

AWANA is the act of weaving as language. Thread upon thread. Repetition. The knots record.
What is not written is woven.

Inspired by the memory systems of the Inca Empire, where quipus translated lived experience into knots, Awana proposes a contemporary reading of that gesture.
