Ames Balcones Rug
Manufacturer Ames
Designer Sebastian Jauregui
The hand-woven Balcones Rugs will liven up any interior with their vivid colour patterns and delicate embroidery detailing inspired by Colombian cityscapes. Designed by artist Sebastian Jauregui Calderon, each piece references traditional, colourful patterns painted on or carved into the door frames of balconies on the upper floors of historic
houses in cities like Bogota and Cartagena. These playful patterns reflect the heritage of the European colonists, as they reference Andalusian and Mozarabic architecture but with a Creole twist. The ombre effects in the Blankes rugs – which are hand-woven from soft virgin wool – capture the atmosphere in the hazy hours of sunset when the sun sinks into the mountains. The collection comes in eight intriguing patterns, with variations ranging from neutral to vivid colour schemes.
