STORY
DESIGN
Designed by Oriane Pereira Lino as part of a 6 week artistic residency in 2016 that brought together refugee designers and artisans. The motif of these cushions draws inspiration from the decorative design of the Tashkat, a Tuareg embroidered necklace traditionally crafted from leather and detailed with pearls and sequins.
This design is called Etrane meaning constellation.
