Rafia Maze Pair Cushions 20×20 · Hand-Appliquéd Terracotta, Écru & Charcoal · Set of Two One-of-a-Kind

A one-of-a-kind matched pair, drawn in rafia and stitched by hand in Morocco.

This set features two twin glyph designs on natural écru rafia grounds: a charcoal labyrinth motif above and a terracotta hexagonal serpent motif below. The cushions are siblings, not copies — each line carries the subtle variations of the human hand, giving the pair depth, rhythm, and quiet individuality.

Inspired by Kuba cloth tradition and reimagined through a Moroccan lens, this pair is made for interiors that value texture, geometry, and collectible craft.

Why You’ll Love It

One-of-one matched pair
Only one set exists. Both cushions are designed to live together and ship as a complete pair.

Hand-drawn by Tigemi founder Meriem Chrrouhi
Each Tigemi piece begins as a hand drawing in Marrakech, shaped by Berber memory, North African geometry, and a modern gallery-minded eye.

Hand-appliquéd by women artisans
Every rafia line is stitched by hand by a small women’s cooperative in Marrakech.

Natural sculptural texture
The handwoven rafia ground gives each cushion a tactile, organic surface with beautiful depth and shadow.

Graphic statement design
Charcoal, terracotta, and écru tones create a strong but earthy palette that works beautifully with linen, leather, plaster, wood, and stone.

Ethically made
Tigemi works directly with artisans and pays above local fair-wage standards to help preserve traditional craft.

Insert Recommendation

Covers only.

For a relaxed, gallery-style drape, use a 20 × 20 in insert.
For a fuller, more sculptural look, use a 22 × 22 in down or down-alternative insert.

The Story Behind the Design

This pair is inspired by the visual rhythm of Kuba cloth — bold geometry, repetition, and symbolic abstraction — then redrawn through a Moroccan design language.

The upper motif reads like a charcoal labyrinth: architectural, grounded, and meditative. The lower motif carries the movement of a terracotta serpent, angular and protective. Together, they create a dialogue between stillness and motion, structure and instinct.

Styling Ideas

Place the pair together on a neutral linen sofa for a bold graphic focal point, or split them between two lounge chairs to create visual balance across a room. They also work beautifully on a low daybed, against plaster walls, raw wood, leather, or stone-toned upholstery.

Their palette is earthy but strong — ideal for modern Moroccan interiors, gallery-inspired spaces, desert homes, and layered natural rooms.

Care

Spot clean gently with a damp white cloth. Keep out of direct sunlight to protect the natural dye tones. Do not machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry.

Treat these cushions as you would a hand-loomed rug — gently, and they will outlast trends.

A Note on Authenticity

Because each piece is hand-appliquéd, slight variations in line, spacing, texture, and tone are natural. These are not flaws — they are the signature of the artisan’s hand.
