PROVENANCE

Warli art is a centuries-old tribal art form from Maharashtra, India, traditionally created by the Warli tribe. Painted on the walls of village homes using white pigment made from rice flour against a red ochre background, these artworks depict scenes of rural life, nature, and ritual. The art is known for its minimal, geometric style—using simple shapes like circles, triangles, and lines to tell complex stories. In this design, we honor the original color scheme with a warm terracotta print on white linen, offering a contemporary take on this enduring cultural tradition.

PROCESS

Unlike our block printed pieces, the Warli pillow cover is created using hand screen printing - a technique that allows artisans to translate fine, detailed artwork onto fabric with precision. Each cover is printed by hand in small batches by skilled artisans in India, bringing the folk art to life while preserving its hand-drawn charm. Slight variations in print are a testament to the handmade nature of the process.
