Description
Malian Mudcloth & Italian Leather Cushion Pair – 40×40 & 60×40 | Reversible
This cushion pair brings together two distinct traditions of craftsmanship — handwoven Malian mudcloth and high-grade Italian leather.
The mudcloth panels are authentic Bogolanfini, woven in Mali using narrow-strip loom construction and traditionally mud-dyed with natural fermentation techniques. The geometric markings reflect centuries-old textile language rooted in identity and symbolism.
Each cushion is finished with buttery soft Italian leather on both sides, creating a fully reversible piece — structured, graphic, tonal and smooth.
Both cushions share the same construction and materials, creating a cohesive, balanced pairing.
The 40×40 square anchors the composition.
The 60×40 lumbar introduces horizontal layering and depth.
Together, they create an effortless designer arrangement.
This is not printed fabric.
This is heritage textile and premium leather combined.

Cultural Significance
Bogolanfini, meaning “mud cloth,” is one of Mali’s most respected textile traditions. Historically used during ceremonial and significant life stages, its motifs carry cultural meaning and protection symbolism.
