Design with heritage.
Seeing Colombia in its beauty - in keeping with this vision, Ames is developing a unique collection of furniture and home decor manufactured in Colombia. Founded in 2006 by Ana María Calderón Kayser and her husband Karl-Heinz Kayser, the company predominantly uses the country’s traditional natural materials and craft techniques for their collection.
German designer Sebastian Herkner is a long-term collaborator of Ames and has visited Colombia multiple times. He not only immersed himself in the culture and beauty of the country, but also met the local Ames artisans and learned about their traditional weaving techniques.
La Che Side Table honours the beautiful traditional weaving craft of Colombia. The name La Che is a reference to the Laches, an indigenous Colombian people, who used a method with the same name to create baskets. These fibres are wound by hand and a robust part of the fique plant is used as a frame. The dyes used have mostly natural ingredients, such as nuts, roots and bark from trees, all native to the region.
100% Fique fibres from Furcraea leaves.
Indoor.
