Udai Block Printed & Tufted Lumbar Cushion Cover

Crafted from soft cotton, this cushion cover epitomizes elegance and comfort. It features a contemporary block printed pattern meticulously rendered by hand by artisans from North India. Splendid surface embellishments are the result of meticulous handiwork by these skilled artists.

The art of block printing has been passed down through generations within families and communities. The process begins with designing the block pattern on paper, followed by hand-carving onto wooden blocks measuring approximately 18-24cm.

These blocks are then dipped in natural dyes and carefully stamped onto the fabric, with each color pattern applied individually. Block carving is a precise art that requires years of apprenticeship and is done entirely by hand. The process is time-consuming and requires skill, as each color is stamped repeatedly across the fabric to achieve the final design. The subtle gaps and overlaps in the pattern are a beautiful hallmark of handmade craftsmanship, giving block printing its distinctive and timeless appeal.
