Whether you are specifying for a boutique hotel or choosing a single wall hanging for your studio, the next step is a short conversation about palette, region, and lead time. We match each piece to the room it will live in, not the other way around.

Interior designers, boutique hotel owners, and collectors tell us how a single handwoven textile shifts the atmosphere of a room. These are the outcomes they describe most often.
A large backstrap-woven tapestry in cochineal red replaced a blank wall above the reception desk. Guests now stop to look at the pattern before checking in, and the lobby feels less like a corridor and more like a place with a story.
Boutique hotel, Cusco regionAn alpaca runner with indigo and ocher stripes changed how the dining room reads at dusk. The natural dye catches the light differently than printed fabric, and the table no longer needs extra decoration to feel complete.
Private residence, LimaThree woven cushions in undyed alpaca and vegetable-dyed wool gave a beige sofa the contrast it was missing. The hand-spun yarn adds a tactile layer that flat-weave upholstery cannot replicate.
Interior design studio, BogotaA handwoven bag with documented origin and weaver details became a corporate gift that clients actually kept. The certificate of fair trade and the note about dyeing time made it feel like an object, not a promotional item.
Architecture firm, Mexico CityPlacing a narrow wall hanging beside a window softened the transition between daylight and shadow. The pattern repeats in a way that feels deliberate, so the room reads as composed rather than decorated.
Apartment renovation, Buenos AiresEvery piece in the catalogue carries a documented origin, a named technique, and a fair-trade certification. That is what separates a curated textile from a decorative afterthought.
Each tapestry and runner lists the workshop, the region, and the weaver's name. When a client asks where the piece came from, you have a real answer, not a vague story about "the Andes".
Cochineal for deep reds, indigo for blues, chilca for yellows. The dye recipe is noted per piece, so you can match palettes across a room with confidence and explain the colour source to curious buyers.
A backstrap-loom blanket takes weeks, not hours. We state the real weaving time on every product page, which helps you plan installations and set accurate expectations with hotel clients.
Workshops are audited for wages, working conditions, and material sourcing. The certificate number is listed per item, so procurement teams can verify it without chasing paperwork.
Browse by colour family, origin, or piece type. A lobby needing warm terracotta accents can filter directly to Cusco-made wall hangings instead of scrolling through unrelated inventory.
Dimensions, weight, and hanging hardware are specified for each piece. What you see in the catalogue is what fits the wall, the table, or the sofa, without guesswork.
A textile from Chaska Studio is not a decorative afterthought. It carries a documented origin, a specific technique, and a measurable effect on the room it enters. Here is what that means in practice.
A wall hanging dyed with cochineal and woven on a backstrap loom anchors a neutral interior on its own. Interior designers use these pieces instead of adding layers of accessories, because the texture and color depth carry the composition. The result is a space that feels finished with fewer objects.
Each piece is documented with its region of origin, the weaver's cooperative, the dye plants used, and the hours of loom work behind it. For hotel buyers and conscious shoppers, this means the provenance question is answered before it is asked. You know exactly what you are placing in a room and who made it.
Alpaca fiber and plant-based dyes age with a softness that synthetic textiles cannot replicate. Colors mellow rather than fade, and the weave settles into a more supple hand. A camino de mesa used daily for years still looks intentional, not worn out.
When a hotel or design studio specifies certified fair trade textiles, the procurement team gets a clear standard to work with. The certification covers wages, working conditions, and the continuity of traditional techniques. It turns a purchasing decision into a policy decision that is easy to defend.
The catalogue is organized by color family, origin region, and piece type, so a designer sourcing for a specific project can narrow the field in minutes. Instead of scrolling through unrelated inventory, you compare pieces that already match the brief. The time saved is substantial when working across multiple rooms.
Buying a woven cushion or a manta de alpaca is not a transaction with a factory. It is a direct contribution to a workshop where the technique is taught to the next generation. The piece you install in a living room is part of a chain that keeps backstrap weaving and natural dyeing in active use.
