This striped block print cushion is handmade in India using the traditional block printing technique, a craft that has been passed down through generations. The soft black stripes are printed entirely by hand, giving the cushion its calm rhythm and artisanal character. Because every print is done manually, no two cushions are ever exactly the same. Subtle variations in the pattern are part of its charm and make each piece feel personal and alive.
Block printing is an ancient Indian technique that celebrates patience, precision and skill. Artisans carve the designs by hand into wooden blocks, carefully shaping every line and detail. Each block has a small guiding point that helps align the pattern perfectly, allowing the design to flow seamlessly across the fabric. The printing itself is a slow and mindful process, where the block is dipped in dye and pressed onto the textile by hand, again and again.
This simple yet powerful method creates prints that are sharp, refined and full of character. There is a quiet beauty in the repetition, in the steady hands of the maker and in the natural rhythm of the process. You can almost imagine the artisan at work, surrounded by fabric, wooden blocks and bowls of dye, taking the time to get every impression just right.
The striped block print cushion brings that story into your home. It adds warmth, texture and a sense of tradition to your sofa, bed or favourite chair. Made with care and respect for craftsmanship, this cushion is more than a decorative accent. It is a small piece of Indian heritage, lovingly made and thoughtfully curated for Mayala Home.
