Salehe Bembury works together with Studio Proba to create the joint Absorbed Language collection of homeware. Bembury has made a name for himself in the realm of sneakers and streetwear and this time around, the center of the new designs are cushions.
Each cushion is woven by hand to create a tufted surface and has patterning that creates organic shapes in bright hues. Founder of the studio, Alex Proba states that “We joined forces last year and created a handwoven pillow paired with Salehe’s signature pattern and Studio Proba’s signature shapes. It’s a perfect blend of both worlds and we hope to be able to connect our communities and do more of that kind of collaboration in the future.”
