Coton, tissé à la main tribu Korhoga

This is a hand spun, hand woven and hand painted cotton cloth for which an entire famous African village takes part in its creation. Women of the Korhoga Tribe spin the cotton, while the men weave and sew the cloth into a large canvas. Korhogo cloth comes in neutral and earthy tones like browns and creams.The women make fermented dye which is painted onto the story cloth. Each figure represents symbolic meaning. Each cloth tells a unique story. They are decorated with symbols of humans and animals, all of which are rooted in Senufo culture and mythology. The animals at the top represent fertility and abundance. Perfect match with Art deco, modern design and contemporary interiors, or with furniture by Jean Michel Frank, Pierre Chareau, Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Chapo...
