Immerse yourself in the world of the Katu , an ethnic group from the Bolovens Plateau in southern Laos, through these unique hand-woven pieces.
Grouped together in a local cooperative, the craftswomen spin the cotton, dye it with plant pigments, then weave it using a belt loom, called a backstrap .
A true work of authentic craftsmanship, each creation combines finesse and originality. Thanks to the cotton fibers, the quality of the weave, and the natural dyes, these cushion covers, light and pleasant to the touch, are easy to maintain.
Combined with other natural materials, they fit just as well into a refined interior as into a warmer space.
