About the Item
Pichu Nido cushion by Sebastian Herkner
Materials: 100% cotton.
Technique: Hand-woven in Colombia.
Dimensions: W 38 x H 38 cm
Available in colors: nature, night blue, beige pink, terracotta.
The Nido Pichu Cushion combines joyful colors with intriguing hand-crocheted motifs. Its cotton cover is decorated with a fluffy macramé detail, making the cushion an eyecatcher on any sofa or lounge chair. Sebastian Herkner designed the Nido collection after a visit to Bogota’s Museo del Oro, the gold museum, where he discovered Colombia’s ancient jewelry. The color combinations are inspired by the hummingbirds Sebastian saw in the Reserva Entreaguas. Overall, the Nido cushion collection includes five motifs, available in various vibrant color shades.
Each cushion is made by hand in small workshops in Columbia’s Reserva Enteragua region. The people living in this area of the Andes have kept the old crocheting techniques alive. Just the preparation of the cotton and wool takes up to three days, while the artesanos and artesanas – as the craftsmen and women are known in Colombia – need five days to make one cushion.
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, color, and texture combinations.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
