The NIL Duvet Cover: The Graphic Presence of Slow Design
Cut from high-end white mercerized combed cotton, chosen for its impeccable drape and freshness, the NIL duvet cover structures the bed with its geometric lines. A twisted thread, entirely hand-braided, runs along the seams and is punctuated by needle-crafted passementerie balls at the corners of the piece.
This demanding traditional finish is entrusted to skilled artisans who work from their homes in Marrakech. This ethical model respects their pace of life while ensuring meticulous work, piece by piece. The micro-variations from one piece to another attest to the authenticity of the human hand, making each cover a unique artisanal piece.
The Inspiration Behind the NIL Model
Born from Valérie Barkowski’s passion for the art of twisted thread upon her arrival in Marrakech in 1996, the NIL collection infuses a contemporary spirit into Moroccan passementerie. This craftsmanship, which traditionally adorns quality garments, finds a new relevance here on designer bed linens.
