About the Item
Ochre Plaid Ruana by Sebastian Herkner
Materials: 100% natural virgin wool.
Technique: Hand-woven in Colombia.
Dimensions: W 200 x H 120 cm
Available in colors: yellow/ grey/ blue, blue/ black/ yellow, ochre/ green/ rose.
The Ruana blanket is a luxurious, hand-woven blanket made with the finest wool. Sebastian Herkner, who visited Colombia multiple times and met the local craftsmen and craftswomen working for Ames, designed the contemporary pattern and was inspired by traditional Colombian clothing. It features a subtle houndstooth pattern and charming little fringes. The blanket, which is available in three color combinations, is perfect for cuddling up on the sofa or as a plaid for the guest bed.
Each blanket is woven by hand on a vertical loom in our Colombian workshops where the local artesanos and artesanas use techniques that have been passed down over generations. They only use threads made from natural virgin wool, which has been dyed with natural pigments. Just the preparation of the wool takes four days, while the weaving takes six 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, 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.
