Patterns used in traditional textiles are very specific in their meaning and use. The motif on this cushion is called totandung and is said to be the oldest known motif by the To Mangki weavers. It is said to mean “to celebrate our success and to be generous.

The textile that is used to make these cushions is known as sekomandi. It is tied, dyed and woven by a single woman from the area known as Karataun in Sulawesi. The dominant red color is what sekomandi textiles are known for. To achieve this colour is a time-consuming process using the bark of the roots of Morinda citrifolia along with other mordant plants. Indigo is collected from around the gardens to use for accents in the overall textile design.

These cushions would be exquisite on a couch, chair or bed. Each cushion cover comes with an inner lining with zipper so all that is required is for you to add the Dacron and enjoy your handmade pillow.
