Designed and crafted by Mexican foundation Ensamble Artesano in collaboration with Niu Matat.
This item is made with the ancestral technique of backstrap loom with cotton threads by the women artisans of ESMAS Aldama, in Aldama, Chiapas.
Through a design mentorship, a reinterpretation of their traditional brocades was made, where the artisans' mastery was enhanced by achieving symmetry in their design. Its rosewood, mustard and petrol colors express the joy and natural colorfulness of the Mexican Southwest.
Niu Matat is a platform very similar to Taller Maya, they work in different regions in Mexico. For Ensamble they collaborated with designer Natalia Tannenbaum. Binational Network of Artisanal Women Niu Matat Napawika, whose meaning is “United Women Working” in the Zapotec, Totonaco and Rarámuri languages, emerged in 2006 as an economic justice initiative.
