Pillow with lace.
The product was created as part of the “Flax Challenge” symposium, organized by the Magic Thread NGO in Kokava nad Rimavicou. The event offered a creative space where weavers, textile designers, and seamstresses from various corners of Slovakia came together to push the boundaries of traditional weaving. Textile designers Ľubica Poncik and Henrieta Tholt helped participants turn their ideas into feasible designs – from the initial concept to the final prototypes. The creative process involved design, weaving, and sewing. The key element was the woven fabric, which participants incorporated into modern clothing and home accessories.
The flax pillow is complemented by a woven tape. The tape is handmade using the tablet weaving technique with merino sheep wool.
Artistic consultation: Ľubica Poncik.
