A gift from the Peruvian Amazon

NII SHINAN means “knowledge from the jungle” in the Shipibo language. Founded by Luis Marquez Pinedo, a respected figure who combines academia and traditional healing practices, this center exists to preserve the endangered cultural heritage of the Shipibo people.

By blending modern insight with centuries-old wisdom, NII SHINAN aims to protect their language, support a future museum and school, and shine a spotlight on the remarkable worldview rooted in the Peruvian Amazon.

Carry Meaning with You

In collaboration with the Shipibo-Conibo artists of the Peruvian Amazon, each NII SHINAN to-go cup brings ancestral design into your daily rhythm.

These patterns are living stories. Choose the one that resonates with you most, and let its quiet geometry be your reminder of connection throughout the day.

Stories that belong in every interior

The Shipibo-Conibo people of the Peruvian Amazon are known for their deep connection to nature and the visual language found in their rituals and art.

Together with them, we’ve digitized their hand-woven patterns and printed them on premium interior-grade canvas. Each piece brings cultural beauty into your space while supporting a sustainable ecosystem for their cultural center. No resourses taken from the jungle, only culture preserved.
