Par Tapiwa Matsinde - 13 July 2017
Age-old Mali textiles hand weaving traditions unite with innovative materials to produce a beautiful array of interior and exterior textiles courtesy of Yéleen Design. Formed in 2003 and located in Bamako, Mali; Yéleen Design is the creation of respected designer Aida Duplessis.
Aida experiments with weaving organic cotton with natural fibers such as vetiver, flax, hemp; and even seaweed and nettle to produce clean simple lines that add to the aesthetic appeal. Traditional Mali textiles weavers work to reproduce the designs across carpets, cushions, rugs and throws; in a range of sublte and rather soothing colour palettes.
