A crushed emerald silk velvet — warm and olive-toned, shifting between yellow-green and deeper moss depending on the light — finished on all four sides with an air blue fringe. The fringe is a cooler, blue-teal that sits in deliberate contrast to the warmth of the velvet, the two colours unexpected together. The pile moves freely across the surface, giving the velvet a depth that plain fabric would not have.
Designed in Germany and made by hand in India, with fabric dyed to Anke Drechsel's own colour specifications.
Dimensions: 27 × 27 cm
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.
