Rayas Accent Pillow
Handwoven on a traditional footloom by Gudi, this pillow reflects the meditative rhythm of the artisan's craft—a central aspect of Guatemalan weaving. For many weavers, the steady, repetitive motion of creating textiles is not only a livelihood but also a form of mindfulness, passed down through generations. The stripe pattern, or rayas, is a common and meaningful motif found across the country, often inspired by the natural world—mountain ridges, rows of crops, or the flow of rivers. These lines carry deep cultural resonance, symbolizing continuity, connection, and landscape.
Stripes also serve a functional and aesthetic purpose in design, adding visual depth and subtle texture that invites layering. Their clean geometry can ground a space or add dimension when mixed with other patterns. In this piece, the refined rayas are rendered in timeless, versatile hues that allow the pillow to integrate effortlessly into a range of interiors, while celebrating the heritage and artistry of Guatemalan weaving.
