Tilonia by Designing Hope is a collaborative line available through Tilonia, the non-profit organization aimed at establishing marketing and business development for the crafts section of India's Barefoot College. 'dh studio,' or Designing Hope, is a Brooklyn-based design collective that creates brands, products and experience that make a positive contribution to the world.
dh studio designed the collection for Tilonia, creating a series of stylish home pillows in varying prints and textures, as well as a playful set of animal-shaped pillows that includes a camel, peacock and elephant. Material for this line was upcycled, putting to use scrap fabric leftover from the Tilonia 2012 Home Collection and the Tilonia bedding line.
