A collaboration with design Studio Bakker to create a collection of cushions and carpets conceived in Amsterdam and handwoven in a small woman’s craft atelier located in Boujad, close to Marrakech. The pieces are entirely made by hand with recycled denim yarn. The wash process uses no water, but it’s sun-dried.
Inspired by the nomadic lifestyle, a love for nature and basic comfort, Studio Bakker x Vera Magagnini presents a sustainable collection of denim carpets and cushions that work together or separately to create a living landscape for contemporary interiors. Denim was chosen not only for its durability but also for its timelessness - it is an enduring fabric that knows neither age, class, borders nor seasons. What started as a rugged textile for worker’s clothing, has evolved to become the fabric of our lives. The collection was conceived in Amsterdam and is handwoven on traditional looms in a small women’s craft atelier located in Boujad, close to Marrakech. The weaving studio empowers and enables women to use their generations-old craft as a means to achieve independence. The weavers set their own hours, giving them the freedom to support themselves and their families. This piece is created entirely by hand - embroidered in the corner you will find the initials of the weaver responsible for its creation.
