The Relief cushions add good karma and a touch of elegance to your home décor. Let the story behind each cushion become a symbol of progress, as we strive for a world where every purchase serves a purpose beyond mere consumption.
The cushion collection Relief is designed and made by the Danish award-winning textile design studio Sheworks Atelier.
Sheworks specializes in transforming surplus and waste textiles into bespoke design products. What truly sets them apart is their commitment to employing marginalized women who are on the fringes of the labor market.
This collaboration holds the power to empower vulnerable women with a talent for craftsmanship. When investing in one of our unique Relief cushions, you provide these women with a sense of purpose, financial stability, and a valuable community.
“Sewing is my skill. It is what I have always done.”
Despite facing marginalization, the women working at Sheworks possess a remarkable skill set – the ability to sew. One woman beautifully expressed her connection to sewing, stating, “Sewing is my skill. It is what I have always done.”
Sheworks offers a supportive community that nurtures these women’s abilities and allows them to thrive.
We invite you to embrace the extraordinary appeal of owning a home accessory that is truly exclusive. Due to the nature of our sourcing process, we are only able to acquire a limited amount of these exquisite surplus materials, resulting in a limited number of cushions.
By owning a ‘Relief’ cushion, you become the custodian of a rare gem. As you adorn your living space with these distinctive cushions, you can revel in the knowledge that very few others will possess the same design.
The ‘Relief’ cushions exemplify a conscious effort to avoid downcycling.
“Instead of allowing these pristine materials to be degraded or repurposed into products of lower value, we choose to honor their inherent worth and elevate them to new heights,” Solveig Søndergaard, CEO and founder of Sheworks explains.
“By carefully selecting deadstock textiles, we ensure that these materials do not end up in the cycle of downcycling. Instead of being relegated to lower-grade applications or discarded altogether, we recognize their potential and breathe new life into them.”
