This cushion celebrates the artistry of Mali’s Bogolanfini (Mud Cloth), a textile once hand-painted with fermented mud and symbolic patterns that told stories of community, spirituality, and identity.

Rooted in African tradition and refined for contemporary living.

Reimagined by MoTSO DeSIGNED in a timeless monochrome palette, the Riviera Mud Cloth Cushion brings the essence of African craftsmanship into modern interiors. Its bold geometry, textured detail, and neutral tones create a perfect balance of cultural heritage and understated elegance.

Design Inspiration

Inspired by traditional West African Mud Cloth textiles, where each motif holds meaning — from protection to growth and unity. This pattern translates those ancestral codes into a modern Afro-luxury aesthetic, designed to complement leather, linen, and wood textures with ease.

Four Afro-modern product mockups showcasing a sepia-toned artwork of an African woman carrying a clay pot, presented in different formats: unframed A2 archival paper print, black wood frame with stone mounting board, framed stretched canvas close-up showing texture, and a large A0 statement canvas displayed in a minimalist luxury living room with a warm stone plaster wall.

Will the colours look exactly the same in real life?

We aim for accurate representation, but slight variations may occur due to screen differences.

In person, the work typically appears richer and more layered, with greater tonal depth.
