We have a new large assortment of bed rolls and cushions... and we were happy to find upon receiving our new stack of Selvedge magazines for the shop, that there is a great article on this company in the new issue. Tensira is based in Paris, but their production- from the dying and weaving of the fabric, to the kapok stuffing... to the sewn finishing is all done in Guinea, West Africa. The company began as a way to save the traditions of indigo dying in West Africa after seeing a trend towards the indigo workshops closing because of a favoring for less expensive, less labor intensive fabrics from Asia. Bringing back and using these techniques and resources, Tensira makes these wonderful cushions that combine a European sensibility with West African craftsmanship. A unique combination. We love the way they come bundled up with fabric remnants tying them together. A stack of these is breathtaking. We have two sizes available in a wide variety of stripes and checks- 38" by 38" and 36" by 75". Use them for daybeds, as cushions on a couch or the floor, animal beds, kids room cushions... the possibilities are endless. We have tested our own cushion in the washing machine and can say that they wash up beautifully. They're easy to care for and easy to use.
Also shown in this picture is the beautiful ottoman from the John Derian + Cisco Brothers collection. We have this piece available in the navy blue Belgian linen.

The texture of this handwoven cotton throw is incredible. You can almost see how it feels- lofty, soft and light. We love the navy blue stitching down the middle and the raw edges. It's a special piece.
Available online here.
John Derian Furniture
New furniture pieces from John Derian + Cisco Brothers have arrived! We saw the clouds part when we unpacked this incredible dromedary love seat in a vintage rose belgian linen velvet. More pics to come of other pieces. We can't recommend this furniture enough. It is made by highly skilled craftsmen, using sustainable sourcing and materials- North American maple and high quality fabrics. Aside from all these important details, the look is a breath of fresh air. These pieces mix wonderfully with both antique/vintage or modern styles. The quality can be seen and the simplicity in the lines makes it very versatile. We can special order any piece (and drop ship if necessary) in any offered fabric- there are incredible linens and linen velvets. We are big fans!
