The Dotty Cushion in Shaded Brown takes a single motif — a small, tufted circle of rose-pink embroidery — and repeats it across a deep tobacco-brown silk velvet ground in even rows. The effect is quiet and considered: the dots are soft and slightly irregular, each one worked by hand, and the velvet beneath shifts between warm amber and dark brown depending on the light. Up close the texture is evident; from across a room, it reads as a richly toned, gently spotted surface.

Designed in Germany and made by hand in India, each Dotty Cushion is embroidered on the frame, piece by piece, with fabric dyed to Drechsel's own colour specifications. A smaller cushion that sits quietly alongside bolder pieces or holds its own in a simpler arrangement.

Dimensions: 30 × 40 cm

Hand embroidered silk velvet.

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.
