ABOUT THE PIECE

Handwoven sheep's wool cushion crafted on a pedal loom, following a traditional technique from Teotitlán del Valle. The geometric design is integrated directly into the weave, creating a firm and well-defined surface. In this piece, the color is achieved through first and second dye baths, utilizing the pigment in a mindful and respectful manner. Certain hues—such as the toasted ecru or sand—are derived from avocado seeds, a natural resource of limited availability that is used exclusively for delicate details. The chromatic composition reflects a conscious decision: to work with what nature provides without overexploiting its resources, allowing the scarcest tones to appear sparingly and meaningfully within the design. The result is a balanced and serene cushion, where the color, the process, and the ethics of the craft become an intrinsic part of the piece's value.

Technique

Flatwoven on a pedal loom. The wool is spun and pre-dyed using natural pigments, and the pattern is built directly during the weaving process—without any subsequent embroidery or appliqués—honoring the traditional textile methods of the region.

Care & Longevity

Wool is a naturally resilient and durable fiber. Regular vacuuming or gently shaking the cushion is recommended.
For spot cleaning, clean only the affected area with cold water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive products and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Note

Every cushion is one of a kind. Slight variations in color, texture, or pattern are inherent to the artisanal process and form an essential part of its value.
