There’s something both monstrous and mellifluous about Fernando Laposse’s innovative use of agave.

The designer’s variation on sisal—the stringy fibers on the underside of thorny agave leaves—is characterized by a “simple knotting system to showcase the fiber in its raw state.”

Laposse’s Agave pieces don’t partake of the traditional skeletal Day of the Dead iconography, but the designer is from Mexico and he does focus on the use of indigenous materials.
