The Anna Cushion in Ivory is built around a single, generous motif — large open flowers in chartreuse yellow, each petal filled with long radiating satin stitch so the blooms sit raised and substantial against the ivory raw silk ground. The blush pink centres are the quieter note. Packed across the face of the cushion with just enough ground showing between them, the flowers read boldly from a distance and reward closer attention.

Designed in Germany and made by hand in India, each Anna Cushion is embroidered on the frame, piece by piece, with fabric dyed to Drechsel's own colour specifications. The back is plain ivory raw silk, the piped edge the same. A rectangular format that works well as a single statement or alongside other cushions.

Dimensions: 35 × 55 cm

Hand embroidered raw silk.

ABOUT the MAKER

Anke Drechsel

Anke Drechsel has worked from her atelier in Karlsruhe since 1986, designing silk velvet cushions and home textiles that are made entirely by hand in India. Each piece is dyed to her own colour specifications and embroidered on the frame by skilled artisans, a process that is slow by intention, and visible in the result. Tessuti carries a curated selection of Drechsel's cushions and decorative objects: plain velvets finished with fringe, and embroidered pieces worked in silk thread on grounds that shift with the light. These are things made to be lived with.
