Pierre Frey | Niamey

Niamey draws inspiration from the distinguished heritage of Kuba textiles, those remarkable Congo velvets distinguished by their use of curly raffia yarns, which create an effect reminiscent of European chiselled velvet. This design represents a considered re-examination of African graphic traditions that Le Manach first introduced to its collection in 1928, bringing historical weight and cultural resonance to a contemporary fabric. The result is a piece that speaks to both craft tradition and design history, offering distinctive tactile interest through its distinctive pile construction.
