From Ancient Myths to Modern Homes: Integrating Heritage-Inspired Designs into Your Space

Bringing the spirit of Guatemala into your home is easier than ever with textiles that combine ancient Mayan inspiration and contemporary design. The Yaxkin, Todos Santos, and Ixcane textiles from the Quahtemallan collection offer the perfect blend of cultural richness and modern appeal, allowing homeowners and interior designers to create spaces with both depth and elegance.

Yaxkin: Inspired by Guatemala’s Spectacular Sunsets

The Yaxkin textile collection, available in purple, orange, cream, black and white, and yellow, draws its inspiration from the breathtaking sunsets across Guatemala. These colorways offer a versatile and subtle way to introduce Mayan-inspired design into your home. Use Yaxkin in yellow or cream for light, airy spaces, or opt for the more dramatic purples and oranges to create warmth and vibrancy. From upholstered chairs to throw pillows, this textile fits effortlessly into both modern and traditional interiors, giving rooms a hint of Guatemala’s natural beauty.

Todos Santos: Texture Meets Neutral Elegance

The Todos Santos textile, available in its original brown and a newer cream-and-brown combination, is inspired by the rich, agricultural landscape of Guatemala’s “tierras frías.” Its intricate texture adds dimension to any room, while the neutral tones make it easy to incorporate into various styles. Whether used as upholstery for accent chairs or as throw blankets, Todos Santos brings an element of refined craftsmanship that enhances both minimalist and maximalist designs.

Ixcane: A Fiery Statement Piece

For those looking to make a bold statement, the Ixcane textile—crafted to simulate volcanic eruptions with its black and vibrant orange design—is the perfect choice. Inspired by Guatemala’s active volcanoes, Ixcane is a showstopper that brings drama and energy into any space. Its dynamic pattern works beautifully as an accent wall covering, or as upholstery for a signature chair, adding a touch of Mayan mythology and natural power to your home.
