Design Description

Drawing from the rich tapestry of both European and Asian cultures, this piece is a contemporary twist on time-honored traditions. Crafted with an eclectic mix of materials — think repurposed tonne bags, eco-friendly wool, revamped curtains, and an assortment of found objects like keys and vintage jewelry — each of the 400 hand-sewn triangles tells a story, all woven into a patchwork of history on upcycled bed sheets.

Materials Used: 

Sustainable wool, Upycled curtains, Curtain rings, keys, 400 triangular shaped hand stitched pieces
