Admired recently: oversized pillows from Niarela Rue 420, an atelier in Bamako, Mali. Owner Mariane Montaut oversees a small team that spins, weaves, then hand dyes the cotton used to create the boldly pattered pillows and bed coverings. The wares are available from Porcupine, a Brussels-based outfit that represents traditional artisans from Africa.
