Claudia Martinez Mansell founded Kissweh to create fair working opportunities for those in the refugee camps of Lebanon and Syria. The Ensaf cushion is named after the embroidery coordinator at the Rashadiyeh base, and is based on a traditional pattern often used on the edges of dresses. It’s embroidered entirely by hand over the course of two to three weeks and complete with a tonal zipper. The craftswomen combine the colours differently every time, making each piece one of a kind.

Country of origin: Lebanon
Dimensions: 30cm (h) x 40cm (w) / 11.7" (h) x 15.6" (w)

Claudia Martinez Mansell founded embroidery studio Kissweh – which means ‘trousseau’ in Arabic – in 2017. Prior to this, she spent her career in humanitarian work, volunteering at refugee camps in Middle Eastern countries such as Lebanon and Syria. These moments inspired her to create a sustainable livelihood for refugee women living in Beirut and an output for their highly skilled hand embroidery. She takes the energetic spirit of her Los Angeles home and combines it with traditional folk art motifs; as a result, each one-of-a-kind piece feels familiar and homely, like a cherished keepsake or a precious heirloom.
