elegant cross

The elegant beauty of a carnation garden is accented by a romantic cardinal red hue, creating a classic accessory for an elegant space. Macedonio Palomino's cushion cover, crafted in Peru, displays a distinguished embroidered pattern that combines its vibrant hues with an ivory base color. The piece comes equipped with an opening at the back for easy use.

Made as an homage to the region's ancient arts and history, Miqayel Nalbandyan's newest creation draws inspiration from the cathedrals and temples that embellish the Armenian landscapes to create this khachkar or stela sculpture from tuff stone in a magnificent red tone. The piece features a cross and classic leafy and floral details hand-carved by the artisan using ancestral techniques that allow him to add an elegant structure and sturdy base.

The rich artistic heritage of Central Asia includes the decorative tradition of Suzani embroidery. Ripe pomegranates adorn the front, the old-world symbol of abundance and prosperity, while vines and leaves are brought to life by silk threads in pretty colors, all hand stitched onto a silk and cotton base. The backside showcases the artistry of hand woven ikat, another cherished textile tradition of Central Asia. Complete with a hidden zip closure, the cushion cover is a testament to the timeless elegance and craftsmanship that defines this extraordinary art form. The Uzbekistani team puts their expertise into practice to create the embroidered pomegranate-themed scene that adorns the front, often used as omens of fertility and abundance. The accessory, made in silk fabrics and threads features a contrasting cotton ikat farbic ornamenting the back, concealing the zipper opening.

Ferns flourish in a forest of deep burgundy silk. Created in batik, the motifs cover a feminine fan from Melati's Collection.

The silk on the fan is only a small part of a larger textile with a complete motif. Thus patterns and color could vary slightly.
