It is a design used on Chusi patterns. The weft runs ahead of the fibers and it is caught from behind the warp.
It allows for different figures; diamonds, flowers, squares and pompons. This technique allowed artisans for the first time to imagine and create different shapes.

PANTAY collection, which in Quechua means error, takes over the idea that making mistakes is human, reinforcing the fact that imperfection is justified perfection, it is tangible, natural, it stands on its own: while perfection is justified via control, maintaining an artificial order, it is therefore useless, in a certain way.

The collections stems from a ludic proposal, where artisans are called together to promote creativity through a trigger idea: a flower. How can a flower be visually represented? The stem, the leaf, the bud. Each and every one of the designers styled the flowers according to their imagination, after drawing a sketch which obeyed their personal vision, that conceptual figuration which was formed with a stick on the ground and then it planted it textile seed to transform itself in a bouquet of unique and personal flowers.

Geometry with strident lines and a vital and vigorous colorimetry. The Rays Collection features the ancestral Baeton technique in order to achieve a weave which productive identity adds to a contemporary design. In addition, the fact that their measurements are 2 meters by 1.8 meters implies that these pieces could also be hanged in a wall as artwork.

Mantara launches the twin line, a textil piece that is a work of art in itself. The design and the realization summarize the ancestral knowledge of the Chusi technique, which is masterfully developed by a team of professionals and artisans of marked trajectory. It also involves, multiple techniques, proposing a dialogue between the embroiderer, the loom and the superposition of solutions to result in an authentic author´s design.
Starting from the base of one of the most widespread techniques in the region, the Chusi, different actions are combined that result in one of the most original pieces on the market. The cut pile of different lengths constitutes one of the differentials, added to the separately woven pieces that are later joined to form the main development. While some threads are worked directly on the rug itself, others are joined or embroidered according to the needs of the design. A unique piece, a textile work of art to treasure.

In Quechua means “ámame”

The Seven Colors Collection is inspired on the topography of the northern hills which have that same name. A multicolor festival which blends into the Purmamarca landscape and reflects in its ancient layers the sediments that were deposited there. Mantara takes up this northern milestone and launches a collection which blends geometry, nature and landscape. Natural dyes, wool from sheep brought up with respect, commitment and a unique design. The landscape inspires us, shakes us, it challenges us.

The warp faced fabric, which the artisans call Chusi. It is laterally compressed in a way that the warps fully cover the wefts and hide them. A wide variety of fabric can be accomplished with this technique; a smooth fabric, with vertical stripes, mosaics, embroidery, laddered, stripe tied.

The weft faced fabric called “baeton”, features large drawings, achieved by the use of discontinuous wefts.
It is the technique ordinarily denominated tapestry, which features geometric designs.

The chañar wood chair is fully curved in an artisanal way. Its tiento seat is braided by wise hands that translate ancestral techniques into a contemporary language.
Qasikay, which means PEACE in Quechua, inspired us to name our new member, the first of a capsule collection that we are weaving in partnership with Estudio Moraschi.

Hand-knitted. A poncho is a typical South American garment. It is a coat of simple design, a rectangular piece of heavy and thick cloth, in the center of which a cut has been made to pass the head. The cloth is dropped over the body, arranging the ends in such a way that they allow the arms to move easily.

Natural wool llama blankets, with fringes. No dyes. Used as footboard, armchairs, coat.
