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.
