A woven cotton ground in a soft natural ground carries rows of hand-worked punch needle in cream — each loop raised just enough to cast a faint shadow, giving the surface a quiet relief that reads differently depending on the light. The lumbar shape tucks naturally into a sofa corner or props against a headboard, earning its place through daily contact rather than display alone. Crafted in Johannesburg by Cotton Tree, a small studio committed to considered making and community-minded production.

Because each piece is worked by hand in a small-batch environment, minor variation in loop density and pattern placement is part of what makes it yours.

— 100% cotton construction — woven ground with hand-worked punch needle surface.

— Zulu-inspired geometric pattern — raised cream loops on natural ground.

— Available with or without insert.

— Made in Johannesburg, South Africa by Cotton Tree.

— Lumbar format — exact dimensions to be confirmed with supplier.

— Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
— Do not machine wash or tumble dry — hand wash gently if a full clean is needed.
— Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
— Do not iron directly over the punch needle loops.

LOOPS, THEN REST

The sofa knows where this goes
