Dry clean only In case of any question, do not hesitate to send me a message THE STORY "Niusha by Niusha Pichak Cushion" The designer, who has long been fascinated by the motifs, symbols, and craft techniques of ancient arts and cultures, has got her inspiration and by transforming them into her own modern language, has applied some of these symbols and motifs to her designs. The result is a limited-edition collection of handmade contemporary cushions inspired by traditional motifs, and techniques. The design of this cushion, in particular, is inspired by the climbing fig or ficus Pumila plant which is evergreen and has a remarkable growth rate. It climes up horizontal surfaces and with its glossy heart-shaped leaves creates an attractive and delicate pattern. In eastern cultures like China, it is said to be the good green spirit of this plant that drives away negative energy. That being so, it makes the cushion an excellent housewarming or a thoughtful gift. Each cushion takes over many hours to embroider and embellish and is made by expert local needlework female artisans in their homes, a craft that has been handed down from mother to daughter over many centuries.
