Balcones Sky Ocean

The Balcones collection designed by Sebastián Jaureguí Calderon is a range from Ames that boasts a blend of pastel and rich hues that seamlessly merge into a striped pattern. Through a meticulous weaving technique, skilled artisans intertwine fibres of different shades, transforming them into vibrant yarns. This intricate process spans eight days and results in rugs with colour gradients, inspired by the sunsets witnessed by Sebastián during his trip to Finlandia. The Balcones collection stands out with its striking contrasts and impactful presence, embodying Ames’ unique style of infusing warmth and liveliness into each piece. These patterns pay homage to the European colonial architectural heritage, echoing the influences and traditional motifs found on the door frames of balconies in historic cities like Bogota and Cartagena.
