At Honduras Threads, every product tells a story of collaboration and craftsmanship. The Ribbon pillow features a unique design by American artist Roberto Munguia, brought to life by Honduran artisan Mariana Rios. Mariana and the rest of the women of the Honduras Threads collective learned their advanced embroidery skills from American embroidery experts to master their craft and produce exceptional, intricate designs.
100% of every purchase goes directly back to the artisan's collective, where it’s reinvested into their community and continuing education. Their work does more than create beautiful pillows and table runners—it fosters dignity, self-respect, and opportunities for growth.
Since 2002, the women of the Honduras have made every home-good on our website possible. Using their business skills and artistic talents, they handcraft each unique product with care and precision.
About the Artist
Roberto Munguia likes to work with several different media. And, he says, “At each instance a very different aesthetic emerges.” His ink drawings are composed of languorous calligraphic strokes and loosely balanced solid forms, sometimes additionally punctuated with flowering washes of diluted ink. He achieves a nice balance between his flowering forms and lines and the white of the paper. These works reflect a quiet and solid sensibility. Munguia's prints reveal pre-Columbian influences in their titles and Islamic influences in their mosaic-like composition. These works are as enchanting and mysterious as the creatures that inhabit them.
