Product catalog summary
Design and Inspiration: The La Che baskets are inspired by the traditional weaving craft of Colombia, designed by Sebastian Herkner after his visit to the country. The name 'La Che' is derived from the Laches, an indigenous Colombian people known for their weaving techniques. These baskets are versatile for storage or as decorative pieces.
About the Designer: Sebastian Herkner is a renowned German designer with a deep connection to Colombian crafts. He has collaborated with ames and visited Colombia multiple times to explore its traditional crafts, earning numerous industry awards for his work.
Product Type and Materials: The baskets are made from 100% natural fique agave, handwoven in Colombia. Available colors include copper, olive green, black, and beige.
Craft and Manufacturing: Produced in the Boyacá region of Colombia, the baskets are crafted using traditional techniques with natural dyes. The process is labor-intensive, requiring weeks to complete each piece, making them exclusive and rare.
Care Instructions: Keep the baskets indoors, protect them from damp conditions, and clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid direct sunlight to preserve colors. The fibers are heat and fire-resistant.
Technical Specifications: The baskets come in three sizes: Small (Height: 220 mm, Ø: 430 mm), Medium (Height: 300 mm, Ø: 580 mm), and Large (Height: 300 mm, Ø: 780 mm). They are lightweight, with weights ranging from 2 kg to 6 kg depending on the size.
