The village of Monguis is known for its charming architecture on quaint cobblestone streets. The tundra of the Andes region, on the other hand, is known for its rugged beauty and frosty flair -which is increasingly threatened by climate change. Designer Sebastian Herkner combined these drastic contrasts to create a geometrically carpet, that unites modern design with traditional craftsmanship.
The "Monguis" rug is produced using the traditional warp and weft method, a craft that Herkner was enthusiastic about when he visited the local manufacturers. Using traditional techniques and with great skill, the carpet artisans weave 100% virgin wool into abstract strokes and vibrant shapes, combining vibrant shapes, combining undyed and dyed fibers.
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.
