The Samuel Suzani cushion features hand-embroidered detailing rooted in the Suzani textile tradition, which originated in Central Asia as part of bridal embroidery culture before travelling south into Rajasthan. Its cotton construction carries a brown motif set against a light green ground, with each stitch contributing to the textured surface that shifts subtly with changing light. The embroidery work reflects a fusion of Persian and Rajasthani craft influences, resulting in a tactile, visually layered piece.
The Suzani stitch began as a bridal tradition — women from Persia and Uzbekistan embroidering cotton or silk to create a valuable dowry. It moved south through the trade routes into Rajasthan, where it fused with a textile culture of colour and beauty, and 700 years later, it has evolved to this modern interpretation. We love the light green with the brown motif, put it on the sofa or the reading chair, and see how the light plays with the texture of the threads.
