ALTITUDE: 100–500 Metres · Semi-arid grasslands
The Pastoralist Wool Bench Pillow
The Pastoralist is part of the Dune Collection — textiles from Gujarat's semi-arid grasslands, where Patanwadi sheep graze at 100–500 metres in heat, drought, and scarcity. The wool they produce reflects that environment: dense and resilient, with natural crimp and lanolin. This is a fibre shaped by hardship.
Handspun and handwoven in Gujarat with traditional geometric patterns. Develops a patina with use. The opposite of a decorative throw pillow. This is one you'll actually reach for. Polyester insert included.
