Phases Africa Presents The Cowhide Collection
NEWPORT BEACH, California, Jan. 5, 2007 /Phases Africa/ -- Phases Africa imports exclusive handcrafted cowhide rugs and furniture from South Africa.
The patchwork rugs display a wide variety of hues, from the deepest, darkest-browns to the lightest creams and whites. Each rug is unique in color and design and there are no two pieces that look alike. They are constructed entirely by hand - first each piece of hide is cut then all the individual pieces are laid out to formulate a pattern. Stitch-holes are then punched around each component’s perimeter before they are hand-stitched together with waxed cotton thread. The individual pieces come in wavy, cross or pixel shapes. The results are rugs, which can be used as floor covering or wall décor that have the impact of a contemporary abstract painting.
Phases Africa Cowhide Furniture
Cowhide furniture, including occasional tables and low benches are also hand made for Phases
Africa by local African artists and vary in design, size and price. No two pieces are alike.
Sourcing the goods for the Phases Africa collection is an ongoing quest for owner, Noleen Kutash. She is always searching for that “special piece” of unusual beauty, fine workmanship and materials of the highest quality. The result is a collection that combines a sophisticated contemporary design aesthetic with the organic and timeless beauty of Africa’s tribal and colonial legacy.
