Perched high on a hilltop ridge in southern Tunisia, the village of Chenini was once used as a fortified granary by nomadic Berbers. Inspired by the intricately woven, Bakhnoug woo l wedding shawls worn by its people — each one hand-woven to express declarations of belonging and faith, as well as messages of goodwill and hope — these shawls flaunt spectacular geometric and abstract motifs. Our Chenini wallcovering is an homage to these textile masterpieces, and features like shapes embroidered with naturally dyed raffia across a grasscloth ground. Show more
