Cistecephalus Ochre Embroidery
Embroidered
This cushion is part of the Call of the Karoo Collection.
Inspiration: Inspired by the fascinating Cistecephalus fossil, this cushion celebrates the remarkable creatures that once roamed southern Africa. This image shows a Cistecephalus skull impression preserved in a block of siltstone, discovered on the farm Glen Again in the Graaff-Reinet area. With its distinctive, boxy head and burrowing habits, the Cistecephalus - pronounced “Sista-sef-a-liss” - embodies resilience and adaptation, qualities captured in the textures and patterns of this design. A tribute to the natural history of the Karoo and the extraordinary life it has nurtured.

OUR CUSHION COVERS
Made locally from 100% linen, each cushion cover is designed to tell its own story — as a bold standalone piece or layered within a considered collection. Printed designs use pigment printing for crisp, lasting colour, while embroidered pieces are hand-dyed with non-toxic dyes for a softer, more textured finish.
