Benefits of alpaca wool
The WASI lumbar cushion is made of alpaca wool, a natural fibre known for its exceptional properties. This fibre is extremely soft to the touch and offers warmth superior to that of sheep's wool. Alpaca wool is also thermoregulating: it keeps warmth in winter and offers freshness in summer.
- Natural softness: Alpaca wool does not itch or irritate the skin, making it an ideal option for people with sensitive skin.
- Durability: Alpaca fibre is resistant and durable, ensuring the cushion will keep its shape and softness over time.
- Hypoallergenic properties: Unlike other wools, alpaca contains no lanolin, minimising the chance of allergic reactions.
Minimalist, functional design
The WASI lumbar cushion features a minimalist, elegant design, making it a versatile decorative element that can complement any type of setting, from contemporary spaces to more classic or rustic ones. As well as being an aesthetic piece, its shape and texture provide ideal lumbar support for greater comfort, especially when relaxing on the sofa or armchair.
Handmade in Peru: a touch of tradition and culture
Each cushion in the WASI collection is handmade in Peru, a country with a rich textile tradition dating back to ancestral times. Peruvian artisans employ ancient weaving techniques on wooden looms, ensuring each piece is authentic and steeped in Andean culture. By acquiring the WASI lumbar cushion, you are choosing a high-quality product while supporting the communities that keep these traditions alive.
Combine it with other WASI elements
The WASI lumbar cushion combines perfectly with other products from the same collection, such as the WASI square cushion and the WASI throw, creating a harmonious set that brings comfort and elegance to your home.
