Woven Landscapes: The Stories Behind Our Quauhtemallan Collection

At Landmark, we design with more than style in mind — we design with memory, movement, and meaning. Our Quauhtemallan Collection is a textile homage to the land that raised us. From the volcanic soil to the black sand beaches, from patchwork crops to sugarcane shadows, each piece in this collection is born from a specific place and feeling in Guatemala.

Here’s the story behind each fabric:

Cañaveral

Inspired by: sugarcane fields and the blur of movement

Anyone who’s driven past the coast knows the hypnotic rhythm of sugarcane fields. Long blades blur into vertical streaks of green and gold. This fabric captures that fleeting motion — as if the fibers were caught mid-rush. The weave plays with color gradients, mimicking the quick change from shade to sun, leaf to stalk, wind to still.

Ixcane

Inspired by: volcanic lava and tectonic texture

Guatemala is defined by its volcanoes — powerful, quiet, present. Ixcane brings this force into fabric, channeling the contrast between molten reds and inky ash. There’s weight and rawness in the texture, almost as if the lava cracked the yarn itself. This textile is not smooth — it’s alive. Rugged. Unapologetically grounded in the geography that forged it.

Patzicía

Inspired by: the fertile patchwork of farmland seen from above

Patzicía is agricultural geometry — the beauty of land worked by hand, seen from the sky. The fabric’s rhythm reflects the grid of farmland: rows, textures, harvest-ready color. It’s a quiet celebration of nourishment, of roots, of earth as design. No two squares the same. Each shade tells a different part of the story.

Paredón

Inspired by: the coastline, its waves, and the black sand glow of the Pacific

Paredón feels like late afternoon. The warmth of sun on black sand, the hush of waves pulling back, the edge where sea meets sky. The fabric ripples subtly — a reference to the tide’s eternal motion. Black, sand, and rust colors are woven like the landscape layers of a sunset. This one’s for those who design with feeling first.


Quauhtemallan isn’t just a name — it’s a translation of memory.
Each weave brings us closer to our terrain. And in your home, these textiles carry that landscape forward — with reverence, modernity, and a sense of place you can sit with.
