Pillows
The Kuba Pillow Collection — A Dialogue in Thread and Time
One-of-a-kind traditional textiles reimagined for the contemporary home, theses Kuba cloth pillows are handwoven and embroidered by the Kuba people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Each pillow is a tactile narrative—where complex geometry and spiritual symbolism are woven into every fiber.
Originally worn by nobility and offered as diplomatic gifts, these raffia cloths were not simply decorative—they functioned as currency, status symbols, and ceremonial objects rich in encoded meaning. Every motif, whether a nested diamond, a braided path, or a checkerboard field, carries a cultural logic—referencing kinship, cosmology, and philosophical ideals.
Filled with luxurious natural down, our pillows are also luxuriously dense. Each pillow is hand sewn, backed in fabric and finished with a hidden zipper.
