With the Maraca lounge chair, Sebastian Herkner has created a charming spot to relax, inspired by the traditional Colombian hammocks. The gentle curves of the steel frame mirror the bend of the seating fabric, whose pattern represents the pure joy of life. The fabric of the chair is hand-woven with 100% cotton yarns. These yarns are dyed with natural dyes only and then finished by hand. To bind the bright colors, the artesanos use salt and almidon, a natural starch. Just the preparation of all the materials takes three days, while the production of each chair takes two days.German designer Sebastian Herkner is a long-term collaborator of Ames and has visited Colombia multiple times to experience the country’s cities, nature and people first hand.
