throw pillows

Inspired by the textiles of the ancient Inca, this pretty cushion cover adds a welcome splash of color to home decor. Kathiana Quispe in Peru designs the cover, which is woven from acrylic yarns on a traditional backstrap loom. A zipper on one side allows for the easy insertion of a cushion.

A colourful geometric pattern reminiscent of Inca motifs decorates a crimson background in this cushion cover from Peru. Designed by artisan Zosimo Laura, the square cover is woven from wool and features a plain red back.

Weaving is an ancient tradition in the Andes, and handwoven Inca textiles were more highly prized than gold. Carrying on the legacy, Eliazar Ochoa creates an intricate cushion cover of dazzling beauty. His motifs are inspired by ancient Andean art, executed in a woolen palette of glowing warmth.
