The craftspeople in the ames ateliers apply an exceptionally intricate weaving technique to create the Cartagenas Natural pieces. The result is a particularly dense webbing made from the roots of the Bejuco, which wraps around the seat. This vine-like plant grows in the Eje Cafetero, the coffee-growing region of Colombia, where people use it to make baskets to collect coffee beans. The plant’s roots are dried in the sun and prepared for ten days to separate the bark from the inner, softer fibres. The artisans weave these fibres then by hand around the steel frame in a process that takes up to five days.
German designer Sebastian Herkner is a long-term collaborator of ames and has visited Colombia multiple times to experience the country’s cities, nature and people first hand. He also visited many of the ateliers that ames has partnered with to learn about the unique traditional crafts of Colombia's regions. A sought-after contemporary designer and recipient of many industry awards, he has worked with many international design brands, creating intriguing pieces that showcase his intuition for interesting material, colour and texture combinations.
