Description

We love bringing pattern into our rooms. Our hand printed Ume cushion cover comes in the most gorgeous soft cornflower blue colourway (we were debating blues for weeks!) and we think it is the perfect accent for a neutral sofa or bed. We like to pair it with our other prints for a bit of a statement, because whoever said "less is more" was clearly wrong!
This hand printed design is inspired by the flowers of the Japanese apricot tree and our love of retro textiles. The cover also features a cute dusty pink Dot Dot design on the reverse.

When creating a woodblock print, the design is first traced onto translucent paper, to guide the block maker who then slowly carves it out of wood using a hammer and chisel. The printer then dips the blocks into a pad that holds the different dyes.
One block per colour is then stamped carefully and precisely by hand, to start building up the design, layer by layer.

Each cushion is individually printed using traditional methods. You may find slight variations in pattern and colour as each artisan will print with different pressure, in his own way. We believe these add charm and tell a story, making each product unique.

Hello, I am Noa. During my career as a designer, I have travelled to India extensively and worked with iconic brands such as Anokhi, who introduced me to the wonders of block printing. I started ai.no.ah to celebrate craftsmanship, collaborating with artisans to create collections inspired by traditional crafts paired with contemporary sensibility. The focus behind the brand is on small-scale ethical production, creating sustainable, unique and beautiful styles.
