About
Aloka is a studio team in Athens, Georgia that sources and refines select vintage kanthas and makes pillows and fashion pieces from them. With our manufacturing partner in Hickory, NC, we also create furniture that defines a new mood-of-the-moment: high note craft.We are committed to seeking potential in existing resources and creating arrestingly beautiful, well-designed products for the home.
Aloka vintage kanthas are made from layers of saris that were hand-stitched some 60-80 years ago in India. We carefully select each for their material integrity and design and embrace the beauty and uniqueness in the material's patina that was created over time.
