GOLDEN EDITIONS is a Paris-based design studio and workshop founded in 2019 by Londoner Sara Efia Reddin whose Ghanaian mother passed onto her a passion for traditional craftmanship. The brand’s aim is to work closely with makers to create contemporary pieces that pay tribute to timeless craft in Ghana, that light up your home and support rural communities. The lamps and cushions are all hand-woven with a savoir-faire that has been passed down from generation to generation, using Elephant Grass (Veta Vera) which is a locally grown sustainable crop, naturally dyed and hand twisted. As for the cushions, these are all made from Kente, a unique Ghanaian fabric woven in strips on a traditional handloom.
The shapes evoke colors and forms seen on trips through Ghana; the rich red color of the earth, the pots piled along the roadside, the traditional thatched houses.
