Description
Embroidered interlacing of yards
Embroidered in our workshops in Marrakesh, the DOTS table linen owes all its refinement to the play of threads interlaced with poetry and delicacy.
It’s a modern and light model which is declined in napkins and placemats. Composition 100% combed cotton, mercerized.
There are 2 sizes available for this model :
Napkin 45cm x 45cm
Double placemat 50cm x 35cm
When I arrived in Morocco, I got lost in the medina of Marrakesh. I was fascinated by all the know-how and I was interested in the tradition of the thread and the needle. But only the djellabas and kaftans were made by craftsmen, no trace of household linen because the latter was meticulously embroidered by young women at home who prepared their wedding trousseaux for many years.
I spent hours in the small shops watching the men work, sitting on a makeshift stool and watching their gestures, having tea and sharing the traditional couscous on Friday noon.
The fact that I have been impregnated with Moroccan know-how, but also from elsewhere, has given me the desire to develop new games of yarn and I’ve been scribbling line games in my notebooks for years. This is what I wanted to transpose on the DOTS model.
As you can imagine, traditional Moroccan craftsmanship is the very essence of the V. Barkowski brand. Each piece is unique and carefully made with respect and love for well done and tidy work.
All sizes of custom-made tablecloths, placemats and napkins can be ordered.
