Cushion, Rhombe, available in a unique design only at Louisiana. The cushion is created in Denmark from surplus textiles from the Danish furniture industry. The front is adorned with a delicately embroidered Rhombe pattern inspired by the classic Sheworks X Louisiana wall decorations - and is color coordinated to match our gray and sand wall decorations.
Sheworks Atelier was founded by designer, Solveig Søndergaard, with an ambition to get minority women with handicraft talents into the Danish labor market and at the same time create high-quality designs from textile scraps – a recycling that saves water, chemicals and resources:
"The classic handiwork skills are still found in a large number of women, also women on the fringes of our labor market. Many of them, both ethnically Danish and foreign, are extremely talented - but the things they can produce and sell are typically offset against their public services. So I simply decided to start the company Sheworks and employ the women. In this way, the women's talents are allowed to translate into high-quality designs, they enter the labor market and at the same time we take an environmentally friendly initiative in collaboration with parts of the furniture and textile industry", says Solveig Søndergaard.
Sheworks has won the Danish Design Award 2022 for its work with less environmentally harmful interior design, Danish design and social work. The brand collaborates with Fredericia Furniture, and their tapestries hang i.a. on the wall in the headquarters at Skagerak, which is today owned by Fritz Hansen furniture.
