Doing some research for a client I keeping spotting beautifully textured cushions made with Moroccan Kilim fabrics. Kilim fabrics are traditionally hand-woven to create carpets and rugs and have now been used to produce smaller items such as cushions and bags. Whether a single continuous design is used or a patchwork of contrasting fabrics; the warm rich colours and plush tactile textures bring and added warmth and cosiness to interiors.
Complementary tasselling, like those seen on Plümo, and/or beading add a sumptuous luxurious finish. Some of the fabrics used are vintage finds, like those seen on Beldi, giving you a truly unique, one-of-a-kind piece, whilst Imports from Marrakesh have a selection of cushions hand-woven by the Berber women of Zemmour and Azrou.
