Among the muses that encouraged the cultivation of Hana Getachew’s aesthetic growing up was her mother’s incredibly colorful wardrobe, as well as her childhood home, which was filled with vibrant textiles. Always enamored by bright hues, Getachew says that color possesses the ability to elevate one’s mood and spirit, and it’s so imperative to incorporate it into one’s home as this is where you spend much of your time. “I suppose the love of color is innate in all people; I just happen to be a creative and obsess over it in my work,” says Getachew to TZR, referring to her home textile company Bolé Road Textiles. “Traditional Ethiopian textiles are also intensely colorful and dramatic; I am heavily influenced by them.”
Indeed, the textile company’s designs are conceptualized around two important voyages taken by Getachew. The first was her initial departure from Ethiopia to America as a toddler, and the second was the pilgrimage back to her country some two decades later to reconnect with her homeland. The founder explains that, in creating Bolé Road’s signature home décor collections, she sought to unearth and incorporate the visual landscape of her native country.
The label’s offerings are known to feature exuberant colors, shapes, and tessellations adorned on an assortment of home products like pillows, blankets, rugs, and an extensive catalog of other items. Read More...
