The Meka is a one-of-a-kind pillow made from a vintage ikat tube skirt made by Lio ethnic groups, living in the hills above the city of Ende, a city on the south central coast of Flores. This pillow boasts a perfectly faded black base adorned with a rust-colored Ikat pattern, giving it a naturally washed-out, vintage appearance that effortlessly adds character and history to any room. Perfect for mixing, matching, and layering, this vintage fabric pillow is a must-have for sofas, beds, or chairs.
Ikat from Ende is renowned for its intricate designs and vibrant colors, rooted in centuries-old traditions of Indonesian weaving. Each piece is meticulously handwoven by skilled artisans, and dyed using natural plant dyes, often taking anywhere from 2 - 6 months per piece to complete, making it a unique work of art. Ikat patterns of weaving are handed down as a taught skill - it is a rare art in decline. We feel very fortunate to be able to source & support this art, in our own indirect way.
Care Instructions: Dry clean or spot cleaning only is recommended.
