DESIGN ELEMENT / KUBA CLOTH



















A design element I like is incorporating antique and vintage textiles into your interior, the Kuba cloth works perfectly as an accent. This ancient African tradition is woven from raffia with complex geometric patterns, no two textiles are alike.

As the woven panels are limited in width the obvious use is on pillows, these are a few from my collection. I also like to use fragments as panel details in custom bedding as pictured above. If you have an antique chair and want to give it a new look consider upholstering in Kuba cloth, an instant classic!
