colorful decor

With their bold geometric patterns, these square trivets from Thai Tribal Crafts bring a fresh take on Lisu hill tribe appliqué to any setting. Made from a durable cotton blend, they’re ready to protect surfaces or serve as a colorful wall accent, each with a handy loop for hanging up when not in use.

Working with cotton threads, Ghanaian artist Randy Abeka Abbam creates this contemporary piece of wall art. He carefully lays each dyed thread by hand to create a stunning abstract composition. This piece of wall art is displayed within a cardstock mat and tweneboah wood frame.

This beautiful cushion cover is designed by Eu Chonay, who learned everything about traditional weaving from her mother. When Chonay moved to the city of Antigua, she decided to take what she learned and start a small workshop. This mustard yellow throw pillow cover is woven on a handloom with geometric designs down the center. The reverse side is a colorful medley of the covers on the front, with a zipper along one side.

Going from a warm brown hue to a sweet pink tone, this spectacle of magnificent birds and advanced handloom techniques creates a gorgeous wool and cotton blend tapestry made by the talented hands of Peruvian artisan Zosimo Laura. Drawing inspiration from the tropical side of the region, the artisan creates a modern scene of diverse toucans united in a colorful creation perfect for a sophisticated ambiance.

Peru’s David Laura Zanabria aptly calls his spectacular tapestry “Childhood Dream” because it expresses “my first impressions in the arts and crafts when I was around ten. Birds depicted with intense shades evoke a sense of mysticism when trying to understand where those small animals with their vibrant, colorful plumage came from. It is an entry into a timeless reality triggered by a childhood memory.” The captivating tapestry is hand-woven from wool in a cotton warp and exudes a contemporary style that will make it an instant centerpiece.
