Argentinian artist and designer Cristián Mohaded, has created ‘Floating Towers’, a group of hanging woven sculptures.

After designing the sculpture, Cristián connected with a local artisan to create the pieces using a traditional basketry technique of northern Argentina called simbol, which is named after a plant fiber that grows in the Argentine province of Catamarca.
