Materials: 100% Cotton. Technique: Hand-woven in Colombia. Dimensions: W 60 x H 22 cm Available in colors: Lila/ brick/ gold/ terra. Also available in sizes: Small, large, and layer pillow. The Chumbes Cylinder Cushion is an extraordinary living accessory created by Dutch textile designer Mae Engelgeer. A lively addition to any sofa or lounge chair, its very intricate stripe pattern is inspired by the Chumbe Inga, a traditional Colombian garment. The cushion features two different hand-woven motifs that have a ribbed structure, making it a joy to touch. Thanks to the metallic threads that have been woven into the cotton, the cushion has a gentle lustrous shine. The Chumbes collection also includes two rectangular cushions and a layer. Each cushion is hand-woven in our partner workshops in San Jacinto, a municipality in the North of Columbia. Similar to the production of the hamacas, which are typical for the region, it is the artesanas, the craftswomen, who produce the textiles on vertical looms. It takes up to ten days for the women artisans to produce one cushion. See less
