QUE ONDA VOS (Guatemalan street-slang translating to “What’s Up?”) marries contemporary Belgian design with ancient techniques. Designed in Belgium by Hanne de Wyngaert, rugs are spun, dyed, and woven by hand by Mayan weavers in Guatemala, creating fairly compensated jobs and celebrating indigenous tradition while creating beautiful and functional products. The label's subdued colors and plush textures add a cozy-modern element to warm up any interior space.

Nancy #1.

A handwoven rug crafted on a traditional foot loom using 100% hand-spun sheep’s wool.
The checkered shape at its center mirrors the borders of Momostenango, a small town in the Guatemalan highlands where wool weaving has been passed down through generations.
A piece rooted in place, tradition, and time.

Pelu Pelu #2.

An undyed, handwoven area rug crafted on a traditional foot loom from 100% hand-spun sheep’s wool.

Its unique two-texture design combines different pile heights, creating a plush, tactile feel reminiscent of the softness of a stuffed bear.

By using twice as much wool yarn and carefully hand-knotting the higher pile sections, the rug gains both visual depth and a luxurious softness underfoot.

From soft blush to deep rose, every pink tone comes from cochineal, a natural dye used for centuries, extracted from insects found on cactus.

For those who want to know more …

Cochineal is a natural dye derived from insects that live on Opuntia cacti, feeding on the plant’s moisture and nutrients. The insects are found on the pads of prickly pear cacti, gently collected by hand and dried.

For centuries, cochineal was used by Indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica, including Mixtec, Zapotec, Aztec and Otomi communities, to colour textiles and amate paper. Its use dates back as early as the second century BC. As its value became widely recognised, cochineal began to be intentionally cultivated rather than gathered in the wild. This semi-domesticated form produced a higher concentration of pigment, prized for its intensity and range. Depending on the process, cochineal can yield tones from soft blush to deep crimson colours.
