The wool is hand-dyed over three days using natural pigments, resulting in vibrant, nuanced colors with natural depth and variation.

The Nobsa cushions are a refined extension of the Nobsa rug collection by Sebastian Herkner. They translate the graphic patterns and color palette of the rugs into sculptural textile accessories. Their unique shape – pyramidal yet rectangular – adds architectural character and makes them a stylish accent in both modern and classic interiors.
Each cushion is handcrafted in a small family-run workshop in Nobsa, Colombia, using traditional horizontal looms. This technique allows for flat, controlled weaving and precise execution of complex patterns. The cushions reflect the region’s centuries-old textile heritage and are made entirely by hand.
Sebastian Herkner, born in 1981 in Bad Mergentheim, Germany, is one of the leading designers of his generation. As a long-time collaborator with ames, he has traveled extensively through Colombia, engaging deeply with local artisans. His designs combine cultural richness with contemporary aesthetics and have received numerous international awards, including the IF Award, the Elle Deco International Design Award, and Designer of the Year at Maison & Objet.
