Zig Zag Hitch is a contemporary architectural fiber installation originally commissioned for the ARTIFACT NODA hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina. Inspired by the rhythmic contours of mountainous landscapes, this sculptural wall artwork combines traditional macramé hitching techniques with clean architectural lines. Repeating geometric knots create a subtle zigzag pattern across individually mounted wooden slats, introducing texture, dimension, and visual rhythm to the surrounding interior.
Hand-knotted using recycled cotton braided rope onto stained oak slats, the design explores the contrast between structured wood and softer textile elements. The natural materials and restrained color palette complement modern interiors, while the arrangement of vertical slats creates an engaging composition that can be adapted to different architectural settings. Originally installed in three sections along a hotel corridor, Zig Zag Hitch offers a distinctive approach to large-scale fiber art for hospitality, commercial, and residential spaces.
