"Betua dream" headboard
The artefact
Elegant and comfortable, this soft headboard in handcrafted fabric recalls in its black and white weaving the traditional saddlebags, betua, enriched with relief elements using the pibiones technique and with finishes in smooth velvet and ribbons. Made using a handloom, it can be customised in size, colour and decoration.
