The elaboration of a wool cushion like this is a slow process that can take up to 2 days to finish! Artisans thread wool fibers one by one, to give that exclusive handmade, one-of-a-kind look. This is a unique accent pillow with a geometric colorful design, allusive to southwestern, bohemian, Navajo, or Americana Styles. These are pieces that speak of their uniqueness because of the cultural heritage they carry behind them.
Sustainably and ethically HANDMADE in Mexico, this cushion cover is delicately made on a waist loom machine. The waist loom is a very old technique used by Mesoamerican cultures. At present, artisans continue to use this technique to make some of the pieces they use for their clothing as well as items and accessories for the home. This technique consists of intertwining threads of any type of fiber in a wooden loom, tying them to a pole or tree on one side and the waist of the craftsman on the other, and interconnecting perpendicularly other threads with chopsticks to give the finish to the weft of the fabric. This pillow is 100% wool on one side and a Mexican cotton cloth with zipper closure on the other.
This product is made by a brand inspired by the artisan’s work, who believe the future of design is closely linked to our cultures’ roots. They love the culture that comes from indigenous roots and all the different forms of expression that come as a manifestation of this culture. They are moved to share a little bit of what they consider an age-old culture that is art in itself and that they would not want to disappear.
They are excited about the idea of being able to bring a piece of that remote and ancestral culture to you or your home. They are very interested in the preservation of this culture through dignified trade and a close relationship with our producers. They also believe that the ancestral does not necessarily have to look old or outdated, for this reason, they incorporate tradition into contemporary design and daily life.
