Description from the seller
Set of 3 Contemporary Patchwork Cushions — RIVA STUDIO, Lisbon
This exclusive set of three cushions was created by [RIVA STUDIO] Lisbon, from reusing high-quality fabric samples — including silk and velvet — from discontinued interior textile collections. Materials of high technical and aesthetic value, which would be discarded as waste, are here transformed into contemporary design objects with a strong cultural identity.
The pieces result from a contemporary patchwork process, reinterpreting a textile tradition linked to material reuse and Portuguese domestic know-how. Fragments of distinct fabrics are carefully combined to create surfaces rich in texture, rhythm and composition, giving each cushion a unique and unrepeatable character.
Produced by hand in Portugal, in collaboration with a small textile workshop, these cushions reflect a conscious approach to design: reusing existing fabrics avoids new industrial processes and reduces waste, positioning the project within a framework of active sustainability.
Beyond decorative function, they are objects that add comfort and identity to the domestic space, combining noble materials, textile tradition and contemporary design.
Set dimensions:
• 1 cushion: 60 × 40 cm
• 2 cushions: 30 × 40 cm
Each piece is unique, a direct result of the limited availability of the fabrics used. A set that celebrates the quality of materials, handmade craftsmanship and the creative renewal of textile culture.
