The ZABUNI-ZARI cover is made from vintage indigo cotton textiles, spun, woven, and dyed by hand in West Africa. Each piece is then embroidered and assembled by hand in Belgium, in small series.
Its deep indigo, aged over time, reveals subtle shades and a vibrant texture. The floral embroidery and side fringes highlight its artisanal character and give it a chic bohemian elegance, both warm and contemporary.
In this collection, the embroidery follows a logic similar to kintsugi : they accompany the repairs and patchwork of the indigo textile, transforming the marks of time into decorative elements.
Rather than erasing the fabric’s scars, they enhance them, in a spirit close to wabi-sabi, where imperfection becomes a form of beauty.
Each textile bears the marks of its history: colour variations, natural irregularities, and signs of time. These unique features give the fabric its character and guarantee the uniqueness of your piece.
In the 30 × 50 cm, format, it structures a light-coloured sofa, warms up a linen armchair, or dresses a bed with white sheets.
To be paired with other indigo cushions such as BUUM-ZARI, or contrasted with white bogolan models like UPENDO, for a refined mix & match.
Inner cushion sold separately.

A second life for textiles
The fabrics used in this collection are vintage indigo textiles that have already stood the test of time.
Rather than erase their traces of wear, Studio Matongé chooses to repair and highlight them. Embroidery complements the fabric's patches, turning each repair into a decorative detail.
This approach echoes the spirit of kintsugi, where imperfection becomes a form of beauty and each piece tells its own story.
Pair it with noble materials such as bogolan, washed linen, deep velvet, or the merino wool of the TANGGOOR throw.
Striking in contrast on a light sofa, or mixed with other indigos for a deep, refined, bohemian-chic atmosphere.
