Sisal Sanctum at citizenM Shoreditch

citizenM is collaborating with London-based Mexican designer Fernando Laposse to create Sisal Sanctum, an immersive outdoor installation set to provide a comforting space for contemplation and relaxation at the heart of Shoreditch.

Created entirely with sisal, visitors will be greeted by ‘sisal guardians’ at the entrance of the installation, enclosed by high sisal walls, the floor will feature sisal fibre carpets encouraging guests to take their shoes off and relax. Sisal, a sustainable fibre native to Mexico, was first used by the Mayans.

Laposse will host a series of workshops throughout the week to design masks and figures using sisal.
