Spanish luxury house Loewe and auction house Sotheby's are teaming up to launch Loewe Weaves, a collection that explores the act of weaving both as a decorative craft and a way to build structures. The highlight of the collection is the Chestnut roaster from Galicia, a handmade clay pot where multiple holes are punched.

The holes are functional but the texture they create is an ideal playground for different weaving techniques. The Loewe Weaves collection also has accessories, extending the idea of weaving to finely crafted leather and raffia accessories rich in details as seen in the bags, bracelets and knotted vases.

Sotheby's is also exhibiting a selection of seven artist-embellished chestnut roasters featuring experimental weaving techniques by artists Arko from Japan, Min Chen from China and Laia Arqueros from Spain. The three artists reinterpreted the handmade pots created by master potter Antonio Pereira, which will be displayed alongside the exceptional pieces of Sotheby's marquee May auctions in New York. The exhibition opens on May 1 while the auction is set for May 12.
