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.
