The Medal Cushion in Light Brown places a single repeated motif across its entire face: a circle of densely packed silver-gold metallic thread, each one worked in tight concentric loops that catch and hold the light. The dots are even in spacing but subtly irregular in their surface — the metallic thread slightly raised, almost granular in texture. The ground is a crushed light brown silk velvet that shifts between warm amber and deeper tobacco tones, the velvet pile moving freely between them.
Designed in Germany and made by hand in India, each Medal Cushion is embroidered on the frame, piece by piece, with fabric dyed to Drechsel's own colour specifications.
