Senderos Throw Pillow
Senderos—Spanish for "fences"—refers to the handmade barriers that outline family plots along the hillsides of rural Guatemala. These fences are more than boundaries; they represent a deep connection to the land and the agricultural traditions that shape daily life. Many of the weavers we collaborate with not only create textiles, but also farm their land seasonally—a rhythm of life rooted in both craft and cultivation.
This pillow was handwoven on a backstrap loom in Santa Catarina Palopó, a lakeside village known for a weaving technique unlike any other found along Lake Atitlán. The crisscross design is formed using supplemental weft threads laid only on the front of the textile, leaving the back smooth and free of visual interruption. Because every detail remains visible, the weaving requires great precision and care—each thread a testament to the artisan’s skill and the value placed on intentional, beautiful work.
