Pillow exhibition

Ethno Network's long standing partner, hotel Marriott Courtyard located in downtown Belgrade hosted a unique exhibition of hand-woven and embroidered pillows followed by a workshop tha enabled many representatives of Serbian institutions, embassies and multinational companies to try their hand at this antique skill and create a unique souvenir with a personal design.

Guests also enjoyed woven pillowcases with recognizable geometric motifs from Serbian kilims (Pirot, Stapar and Sjenica-Peshter area), with handmade tassels and motifs of flowers and roses as a universal ethnological symbol that is represented in all parts of Serbia.

Hand-embroidered pillows and linen used to be an integral part of a bride’s dowry as a symbol of happiness and family well-being. Embroidered cushions are most often decorated with floral motifs and geometric ornaments of whitework, Kosovo and Zmijanje embroidery.

Elements of goldwork and plush with refined embroidery on hand-woven fabric exude high style and class of the interior they decorate. Throw pillows and accent cushions represent an exceptional business or personal gift with an authentic mark of origin and a message of warmth and elegance. Pillows in cylindrical and rectangular format are a decorative element in business interiors and an effective detail in reception areas and meeting rooms.
