by Aissa Dione Tissus (Senegal)
Description & Details
Made from cotton, hand-spun threads and natural dyes, this cushion's gorgeous fabric has a smooth silky feel. Hand-woven by master weavers in Senegal, the textile combines traditional techniques, such as Manjack weaving, with colours and motifs designed by Aissa Dione, one of Senegal’s most renowned artists and textile designers. 27 years ago, she opened a workshop with one of the last remaining groups of Manjack weavers and a single hand-weaving machine. Today she is at the forefront of reviving Senegal’s ancestral know-how in weaving, creating unique and luxurious fabrics, collaborating with world-class interior designers such as Jacques Grange and Christian Lacroix, and developing collections for the likes of Hermès and Fendi.
