Hunza craft for the home
Honey-Wood Armchair in Floral Cruciform Weave
Furniture
A compact turned-wood armchair upholstered in a softer, more floral handwoven textile across its back and box-seat cushion. The design centres on cruciform floral medallions and rosette borders in cornflower blue, gold and rust on a creamy ground, with a crisp meander/Greek-key band running along the front of the seat. The gentle palette and blossoming motifs pair warmly with the pale honey-coloured frame, giving the chair a homely, lived-in cottage character.
The tradition
Hunza craft for the home
These one-off furniture pieces are dressed in handwoven Hunza textiles, marrying the workshop's weaving and embroidery with simple, functional forms. They are made occasionally rather than as a line, so each is effectively unique.
The interest lies in the textile: the same naturally dyed wool and silk used in the carpets is applied to a piece that lives in everyday use.
Motifs & meaning
Reading the design
Furniture textiles use the workshop's familiar woven and embroidered motifs.
Geometric weave
Flat-woven diamonds and bands from the soumak vocabulary.
Hunza embroidery
Ibex-horn and floral forms drawn from the valley's caps.
Natural-dye palette
Madder, indigo and walnut tones that age gracefully.
Materials & technique
How it is made
