Zipa Rug soft pink/dark green/orange

Description

Manufacturer Ames
Designer Sebastian Herkner

A colorful statement rug design by Sebastian Herkner joins the ames collection. The German designer found the inspiration for the rugs irregular pattern and organic shape when traveling through the Colombian Andes with ames founder Ana Mara Calderon Kayser. They visited the famous Salt Cathedral of Zipaquir, which is built in the tunnels of a former salt mine 200 meters underneath a mountain. Dramatically illuminated, religious carvings decorate the walls, glimmering in many colors and creating abstract reflections which Sebastian Herkner transformed into the hand-tufted patterns of the Zipa rugs. Seeing the cathedral was such a unique experience. The interaction between salt crystals and the light, the glistening of the light rays and the color reflections, they all created something mystical, recalls Sebastian Herkner of his visit. Thats why I wanted the patterns of the Zipa rugs to feel almost alive, capturing the reflections, unique colors and crystal-like shapes. In a way, light has its own creativity and always keeps moving and thats what I express with these rugs.
