This handwoven pillow by Tensira is the ultimate embodiment of traditional West African weaving and dyeing which is renowned for its exquisite quality and use of 100% vegetable dyes.

Tensira was founded in 2010 from an encounter between Hamidou Diallo, of Guinean origin, and Tuulia Makinen Diallo, of Finnish origin. Their products are a unique expression of centuries-old Guinean know-how of weaving and indigo dyeing and Nordic design.

Hamidou’s mother was an indigo dye artist for more than 40 years. The duo carries on the tradition while promoting sustainable production, respect for the environment and people as well as guarantee a safe and fair work environment for all our collaborators.
