The smallest country in Africa has some pretty big ideas on how to make handcrafted home decor. Handmade in The Gambia by Fulani weavers and tailors using locally grown cotton, Harmattan Home pillows have a rich texture that comes from the raw cotton. With variations from the handmade nature of each small-batch pillow, the Bansang Pillow is an example of traditional craft that verges on functional art.
