Abstract

The present work develop a general study of the iconography of the Otavalo´s belt, obtaining a classification of tissues that have been compiled over the years. The geometric tissues of the belt are uses to create furniture designs for living environments such as a living room and kitchen. It begins with a detail analysis of the Otavaleña culture to understand each one of its facets inside its worldview and culminating with a vision iconography of the classifications of the Otavalo´s belt. Following the methodology of Bruno Munari: How object are born, the design of the living room and the kitchen is executed considering each one of the anthropometric and ergonomic aspects that were necessary for the development of this work.
