ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handwoven lumbar pillow emerges from the skilled hands of artisan women in Central Java, where generations have passed down the art of traditional loom weaving. Each piece tells a story through its intricate Javanese Ikat fabric, created using wooden pedal-loom tools that transform raw materials into something extraordinary through patience and practice.
The invisible zipper closure ensures clean lines while the distinctive lumbar shape brings both comfort and visual warmth to any living space. Crafted through fair trade practices that honor both the maker and the craft, this pillow represents the beauty that emerges when traditional techniques meet conscious commerce.
For those who value authenticity in their homes, this piece offers a connection to Indonesian textile heritage while supporting women artisans who weave their dreams into every thread from the comfort of their own homes.

BrunnaCo says every collection is handcrafted by talented artisans in Indonesia, especially Bali. These craftspeople, mostly women, work from the comfort of their homes while playing an important role as mothers.
BrunnaCo was founded by Helga Ida Ayu, who calls Bali her home island and now lives in California. In Indonesia, many women give up their jobs and careers after they marry to care for their families. BrunnaCo is committed to making it possible for its female artisans to work from home and pursue their dreams, and hopes to help them feel accomplished.
BrunnaCo says its aim has always been to create meaningful pieces from locally harvested plant based, recycled and vegan materials, and through its work to share the stories of its artisans and the beauty of Indonesia's land and culture.
