Details

The Kente textile patterns of the Ewe people of Eastern Ghana traditionally play with simple repetition. In the studio our designer Sara Efia Reddin has creatively played with these motifs, updating them with new colours and pared down combinations. Woven by Master Weavers in the Volta region of Ghana, these cotton cushions are piece of craft heritage.

Technique

Kente weaving is a a traditional African weaving technic from Ghana. The weaving is perfectly tight and smooth and consist of elaborate geometric patterns repeated on fine strips of fabric. Woven on a traditional loom in strips of around 15cm. The strips are then sewn together to create a beautiful patchwork cloth. The cushions are made by a local seamstress.

This cushion takes around 3 days to weave.
