Ames chumbes pillow 2

Inspired by the Chumbe Inga, a garment with traditional symbols, Mae Engelgeer created the chumbe collection. For the hand-woven cushions and layers, the designer combines cotton and natural fibres with fine metallic yarns and joins them to form ribbed structures. In a graphic composition these form a unique pattern. Following a tradition deeply rooted in the Sibundoy region, the female artesanos weave the history of the country, experience and knowledge into the Chumbe Inga using textile symbols. The products have different colours on the frontside and and only one on the back.
