Small Nobsa Cushion by Sebastian Herkner
About the Item
Small nobsa cushion by Sebastian Herkner
Materials: 100% natural virgin wool.
Technique: Hand-woven in Colombia.
Dimensions: W 50 x H 50 cm
Available in colors: Grey/ grey/ cream, grey/ ochre/ cream, red/ ochre/ cream, blue/ mint/ cream, rose/ ochre, green/ naranja, grey/ brown, grey/ beige.
The nobsa cushion, available in three sizes, is a graphic design by Sebastian Herkner, featuring gentle color-blocking to create a multi-dimensional effect. The designer was inspired by the patterns of the plastic bags in which Colombian farmers carry their potatoes. By combining colors of similar shade and different weaving techniques, an intriguing pattern is assembled that adds texture and interest to any sofa or lounge chair. The Nobsa collection also includes rugs with the same patterns.
The pillow is manufactured by hand in a small family business based in the eponymous Colombian city of Nobsa. It takes three days to dye and prepares the cotton fibers and an additional three days to make the 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.
