channeling the work of one of uruguay’s most-renowned creatives, poet juana de ibarbourou inspires nine design studios who will each reimagine one of her poems for poetic forms: the work of uruguayan poet juana de ibarbourou.

curated by london-based uruguay and designer, matteo fogale, uruguay’s contemporary creative studios have distilled the work of ibarbourou into furniture, accessories and textiles in a celebration of the centenary of las lenguas de diamante, a book that catapulted juana de ibarbourou instantaneous success both nationally and internationally upon its publication in 1919.

las lenguas de diamante features a series of poems that celebrate the body and its relationship with nature, and each of the creatives has taken one or multiple poems as the starting point for their designs.
