Ames set out to explore the beauty and craftsmanship of Colombia. Together with Colombian artisans and renown designers such as Sebastian Herkner and Mae Engelgeer, they experimented with colors, patterns, materials, and weaving techniques and developed a unique, harmonious collection of rugs, cushions, and throws.
All ames products are produced in small, family-owned workshops that use
traditional methods and are almost exclusively made from natural materials.
Ames values sustainable production methods, fair wages and the promotion of local craftsmanship to help keeping the traditions and skills of the artesanos alive for future generations.
