The Bouquet Lion in Shaded Mint stands on four legs and commands attention quietly. The body is a crushed silk velvet in pale cream and olive-green, worked with large peony blooms in blush pink and deeper rose, and flowing stem and leaf embroidery in sage and forest green — a garden carried on a lion's back. The mane is something else entirely: dense gold fringing, hand-worked thread by thread, that moves when handled. The tail ends in a small gold tassel, a detail so considered it could only be intentional.

Designed in Germany and made by hand in India, each Bouquet Lion is embroidered on the frame, piece by piece, with fabric dyed to Drechsel's own colour specifications. The Shaded Mint colourway — cream, olive, blush and gold — has the quality of something found rather than designed.

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.
