This cushion cover carries a story of extraordinary resilience. It was crafted from the designs of Basima Odeh — a Palestinian artist from Salfeet who taught herself embroidery at age 10, went on to mentor women in refugee camps across Jordan, and whose work was celebrated at fashion shows attended by Jordan's royal family, including Queen Rania Al Abdullah.

Basima passed away in 2020 after a long battle with illness. Her designs live on through Mosaic of Cultures, founded by her eldest daughter, as a tribute to her brilliance and her lifelong mission of empowering women through art.

Tatreez — Palestinian cross-stitch embroidery — is one of the oldest and most meaningful art forms in the region. Each motif carries regional identity, family history, and cultural memory stitched into every thread. Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, Tatreez is a living tradition passed from mother to daughter across generations.

Owning this piece means carrying a piece of her legacy — and keeping a centuries-old tradition alive.
