The Danish Form & Refine’s Aymara cushion, designed by Herman Studio, is part of a textile collection made from luxuriously soft and fine alpaca wool. The designers were inspired by their trip to South America: the wool comes from Bolivia and has been woven by local artisans. The hypoallergenic alpaca wool feels pleasant against the skin and acts as a natural thermostat, storing heat for a long period of time. The beautiful colours and simple patterns reflect both Nordic design and Bolivian handicraft traditions.
