Technics used to make the kente cushion To + Fro

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.

Why choose this cushion … ?

Our Kente cushions are not only beautiful, they are also very resistant and of a very high quality only found when making things by hand.

To own one of our woven cloths, is to encourage the modernisation of a beautiful tradition, inspiring and supporting the weaving communities by introducing their art to the contemporary design world.

Please do not forget that this cushion is woven by hand and the slight differences in pattern repeat and colour are completely normal. Please also remember that the material is natural and therefore we do not recommend them for use outside or on terraces.

The colours are natural and may fade if placed in direct sunlight.

Golden Editions believes that artisanal is the new luxury. Our lamps and cushions are made by hand to be treasured.
