The statement layer of the silk bedroom. Hand-woven jamdani, kantha-embroidered heirlooms and block-printed throws — all from West Bengal's living textile traditions.
The jamdani technique of West Bengal is on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Kantha — the running-stitch tradition of layered silk and cotton — is alive in a network of women's cooperatives in the Nadia and Murshidabad districts.
These are the pieces that turn a silk bedroom from an upgrade into a story. They sit at the foot of the bed, across a reading chair, or layered as a coverlet for the warmer months.
Hand-woven on the loom with supplementary weft — the motifs appear inside the weave itself, not on top of it. Sheer, airy, transparent.
Running-stitch embroidery over two or three layers of silk, often using recycled silk thread. Each throw shows the hand of the woman who stitched it.
Hand-carved wooden blocks dipped in natural dye, applied across a tussar silk base. Two motif families: heritage paisley and modern geometric.
