Lumi Embroidered Pillow
This elegant cushion is more than just décor—it's a tribute to the delicate beauty and enduring symbolism of the Nymphaea, or water lily. In Greek mythology, the Nymphaea represents a feminine spirit inhabiting fresh water. Across cultures, these blooms symbolize unity, purity, enlightenment, and the cycle of life.
Beautifully embroidered on natural 100% linen, this cushion features preserved and digitized designs of dried Nymphaea specimens sourced from South African research herbariums. These institutions are dedicated to sustainability and the protection of our planet’s limited freshwater resources.
The cushion’s subtle hues echo the natural changes in the preserved specimens over time—serving as a gentle reminder that just as nature evolves, so too must we change our habits to conserve water, now one of our scarcest resources.
Includes a plush 95% feather / 5% down insert for added comfort.
