Details

Zosimo Laura comes from a respected family of weavers in rural Peru, although he had to relocate to an urban center because of political unrest many years ago. He still weaves rugs the traditional way, using a pedal loom, like with this wool fiber rug woven on a cotton warp. The design is based off those from cultures that predate the Inca.

“Beautiful rug”

The colors are vibrant, very thoughtful transition from brown to green. It is way to pretty for the floor, so I have a it hanging on the wall. It provides prefect background to my endless video calls.

“Absolutely stunning!”

I figure itll be a while before I can hang it properly, so I am not including a picture of my own, but the picture gives a good impression. Purple is my favorite color and this hanging is absolutely stunning!
