55.3 x 56 x H75/SH45 cm
Design with heritage.
Seeing Colombia in its beauty - in keeping with this vision, Ames is developing a unique collection of furniture and home decor manufactured in Colombia. Founded in 2006 by Ana María Calderón Kayser and her husband Karl-Heinz Kayser, the company predominantly uses the country’s traditional natural materials and craft techniques for their collection.
German designer Sebastian Herkner is a long-term collaborator of Ames and has visited Colombia multiple times. He not only immersed himself in the culture and beauty of the country, but also met the local Ames artisans and learned about their traditional weaving techniques.
Inspired by Colombia’s Huila region, where the Tatacoa desert meets the Rio Magdalena, Sebastian Herkner's Caribe Chic outdoor collection features hand-made chairs and tables in earthy colours.
Using the “Momposino” weaving technique, known for intricate patterns, PVC strings made from recycled plastic are stretched over a galvanized and powder-coated steel frame and woven by hand.
