The Makers
Designed and hand embroidered by artisan Surajpal from Uttar Pradesh in India, this cushion is inspired by various types of embroidery but predominantly draws from dori work. The process requires a skilful hand, rhythm and coordination to create its distinctive results.
For Surajpal, transforming ideas from concepts to reality is the most rewarding part of his work. -

The Material
India’s duet with the cotton industry dates back over 4,500 years ago. Overtime Indian artisans and traders have refined their skills and have since been one of the biggest producers of cotton - so much so that in ancient Greece and Babylon, ’India’ was used as an abbreviation for ‘cotton’.
This style is handcrafted using pure cotton fabric and strong cords of thread to create this distinctive geometrical pattern.
