粉色怪兽
Pink Beasts

“粉色怪兽”（Pink Beasts）是Fernando Laposse在2019年为迈阿密设计区设计的装置作品。该作品是用染色的剑麻纤维构成的景观装置。用于染色的胭脂虫来自于生长在墨西哥中部的仙人掌植物（Opuntia cactus）。

Fernando Laposse revealed this installation in 2019 for the Miami Design District in 2019. For Pink Beasts, Laposse used cochineals from an organic farm in the mountains of Oaxaca and dyed the fibers of the agave plant (also known as ‘sisal’) to make a landscape of pink.

“粉色怪兽”展示了Laposse作品的多样性。在迈阿密的街区环境中，一系列粉色的、毛茸茸的树懒“吊挂”在绳索、棕榈树和拱门上，搭配着与布艺设计师Angela Damman共同创作的10个粉色流苏吊床，在城市中形成一道独特的风景。

Pink Beasts will showcase the versatility of Laposse’s work. Strands of pink sisal tassels suspended through the trees will guide visitors to discover a collection of pink hairy sloths that will hang from ropes, trees and arches. Ten sculptural hammocks, created in collaboration with textile designer Angela Damman, will feature pink sisal locks that will hang down from the with otherwise traditional Mayan designs. These will hang on metal structures and directly on palm trees for public use.

设计的灵感源于使用植物纤维制作日用品的古老技术。装置的制作由尤卡坦州的玛雅编织工匠完成，包括剑麻的生产、清洁和染色。

Inspired by age-old techniques of making useful goods from unique plant fibers, Angela bringing her specialized knowledge and contemporary design to this installation. The installation was handmade by a community of Mayan weavers of Sacabah in Yucatán including the production, cleaning, and dying of the sisal.

剑麻密室
Sisal Sanctum

“剑麻密室”（Sisal Sanctum）是设计师Fernando Laposse为2018年伦敦设计节创作的一项装置作品。这项作品使用天然剑麻（从墨西哥南部种植的龙舌兰中提取的天然纤维）制成，营造出一处拥有丰富感官和触觉的景观。

Sisal Sanctum is an installation commissioned by citizenM by London-based designer Fernando Laposse for the London Design Festival 2018. Sisal Sanctum creates a sensorial and tactile landscape using raw sisal, a natural fibre harvested from a species of Agave cactus found in the South of Mexico.

空间中包含两个舒适的休息区，拥有毛皮般的墙壁和地面。设计师希望该作品为东伦敦的城市景观创造一座庇护所，为参观者们带来舒适和放松的体验。

The space consists of two cosy lounge areas featuring different textures, fur-like sisal walls and carpets. Its intent is to provide a shelter from the urban landscape of East London, where visitors can relax in comfort.

剑麻种植曾是墨西哥最大的产业之一，也是尤卡坦半岛玛雅人社群的主要就业来源。然而，随着尼龙的发明，剑麻的产量急速下降，并导致了大规模的失业。设计师希望通过利用剑麻及其古老的收割和制作方法来帮助小生产者，同时鼓励人们使用这种可降解的天然材料。

Once one of the biggest industries in Mexico, sisal represented the main source of employment for the Mayan communities of the Yucatan peninsula but, with the invention of nylon, its production dramatically decreased leaving entire communities unemployed. Fernando looks at this material, adopting the ancient ways of harvesting and manufacturing to shed light on the small producers as well as a natural and biodegradable material.
