A crushed olive mud silk velvet — deep and earthy, moving between dark khaki and warm brown-green as the pile shifts in the light — finished on all four sides with a gold fringe. The fringe is brighter and warmer than the velvet, a burnished amber-gold that draws out the yellow buried in the olive. The two colours are grounded in the same warm register, the combination settled and deliberate.
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.
