See inside a Williamsburg loft just waiting on its 3-D-printed birds

Errazuriz has called New York City home since 2006, when he arrived from his native Chile to pursue his master’s degree in art from New York University. His life here, and his practice as an artist and designer, grew and grew until he found himself with studio spaces in Industry City, in Brooklyn, and Mott Haven, in the Bronx.
He does all that from his home, a 1,700-square-foot Williamsburg loft with 14-foot-high ceilings. “I just wanted an apartment,” he says, “but I can’t do the small apartment with multiple rooms.” The search took time. “You know that New York thing where you spend 30 days seeing crap and then the 31st day you suddenly find a little jewel.”
Errazuriz’s designs are inspired by nature, antiquities, reflection, and kinetic furniture. He has also invested time in and has raised funds for public-art projects both in Chile and New York, often with a political point. As much as he is fascinated with technology, his work is infused with romance and memories from his childhood in Santiago, where he’d visit his grandmother’s home, where magical things would happen.
