Āsima is a hand-stitched kantha cushion created in collaboration with artisans in the village of Sima Nagar, West Bengal.

Made from handloomed cotton, the surface is worked with tight, continuous lines of stitching, carried out freehand across the fabric. The lines run in a steady, uninterrupted rhythm, creating a calm, structured surface.
Each piece is stitched without templates, allowing slight variations in spacing and tension to emerge naturally through the hand.

Finished with a concealed zip and paired with a British wool insert.

Kantha

Kantha is a centuries-old stitching tradition from the Bengal region, spanning present-day West Bengal and Bangladesh.

Originally created within the home, layers of worn cloth were stitched together using small running stitches to form quilts for everyday use. What began as a practical act of reuse became something more, a quiet expression of care, resourcefulness, and creativity.

Today, this practice continues as a way of preserving both craft and a philosophy rooted in renewal, where nothing is wasted and every piece carries a past into the present.
