CLASSIFICATION: Textile Architecture (Artisanal and Ethical) CONSTRUCTION: Hand-Woven (Back-Strap Loom Technique) PROVENANCE: Lake Atitlan, Guatemala (Non-Profit Partnership) ROLE: Ethical & Textural Accent
This pillow is an artifact of high-integrity production, distinguished by its construction: it is woven by artisans using a back-strap loom, a time-honored, complex method of weaving that ensures high textural quality and structural longevity.
Crucially, the production of this textile is anchored in ethical partnership with a non-profit organization on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. The acquisition of this piece directly supports the continuation of this community's generational weaving tradition.
The complex, dense weave (seen in the visual) creates an essential, high-contrast textural element that is suitable for grounding any sofa, chair, or daybed.
The Curator's Notes
- Artisanal Integrity: The method of construction (back-strap loom) is a key feature, proving that the item is a true piece of hand-woven textile art and not mass-produced.
- Ethical Provenance: The partnership with a non-profit organization in Guatemala ensures the consumer is investing in a sustainable, community-based economic model.
- Visual Density: The black and white linear pattern (seen in the visual) creates a striking, high-impact aesthetic that works as a geometric counterpoint to softer, solid-colored furnishings.
