GharGhar
Just in time for the holidays, GharGhar has launched a new collection of cushions—Tribal, which brings a delightful textural vibe in earthy shades to your home. The ‘Tribal’ cushions are conceived as an expression of customs, traditions and practises of communities from across the country. By interpreting native motifs in a contemporary style, they bring compelling narratives into your homes. The cushions, aptly named Sand, Oatmeal, Ecru and Cream, are all bathed in warm beige hues with thread work or embroidery in white, creating subtle, yet charming contrasts. Made of cotton chambray, the dori embroidery or threadwork is used to depict mesmerising geometric and ikat patterns in a modern play of textures.
