Tensira: 15 Years of Expertise and Timeless Design

This year, Tensira celebrates its 15th anniversary, marking the fusion of West African craftsmanship with Scandinavian and Parisian design. Our textiles, woven, dyed, and sewn in our certified workshops in Guinea, embody creativity, elegance, and durability.

Our Décor Tips with Tensira:

• Choose the perfect mattress: To conceal a color, opt for a bold print (K.208, K.101 N). To enhance, go for subtle tones (K.107 BN, K.158, K.225).
• Add cushions: For a 90x190 cm (36x75 inch) sofa, combine up to 4 cushions (50x50 cm / 20x20 inches), 2 cushions (40x60 cm / 16x24 inches), and a mini or bolster cushion for optimal comfort.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful journey—let’s celebrate 15 years of passion and craftsmanship together!

Discover Tensira's New Rive Gauche Collection

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Tensira unveils the Rive Gauche collection, inspired by the world of Yves Saint Laurent. This line pays tribute to his influences from the 60s and 70s, with soft pearl grey tones evoking the timeless elegance of Paris’s Left Bank. You’ll also find delicate touches of vintage rose, a color exclusively hand-dyed by Tensira's dyers, contrasted with the brand’s signature blue. The perfectly tailored, unisex kimonos take center stage, embodying both elegance and versatility.

Discover the Tensira Mattress Topper: A Timeless Classic

Since its launch in 2009, the Tensira mattress topper has become a staple in interior design, harmoniously blending Guinean tradition with Nordic innovation. Meticulously crafted from the finest cotton, hand-woven and dyed in Guinea, and filled with either natural fibers or recycled microfiber, it offers unparalleled comfort and elegance.

Designed to transform any space, the Tensira mattress topper can instantly enhance your sofa or bed, adding a touch of luxury to your interior.

How to Choose Your Mattress Topper?

When selecting a Tensira mattress topper, opt for a color ranging from timeless black or brown to soft reds, and choose between natural fibers or machine-washable recycled microfiber.

Keep in mind the size: due to sewing and compression processes, the mattress topper may appear a few centimeters smaller upon opening, but it will regain its original shape after a few days.

In this exclusive interview with our Artistic Director, Tuulia Mäkinen Diallo, she shares her inspiring journey from childhood dreams of becoming an actress to realizing those dreams through design and textiles. Tuulia discusses how her move to Paris in 2005 and her immersion in iconic fashion houses like Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent shaped her career. She also speaks about her marriage to Hamidou Diallo and how his Guinean heritage influenced the creation of Tensira, merging Nordic design with West African craftsmanship.

Tuulia addresses the creative process, explaining that despite a busy life as an entrepreneur and mother, creativity flows naturally for her, akin to composing a song. She also talks about the ongoing inspiration she draws from Paris and her daily life with her two daughters, and expresses gratitude for the opportunity to live her dream through her creations.

Lastly, she highlights the successful collaborations of this year with prestigious brands such as Zara Home, Banana Republic Home, and Blanche + Mimi and of course with many long time partners such as Goodee or Jayson Home as well as the iconic Le Bon Marché, along with Merci and La Trésorerie in Paris.

We are thrilled to unveil our brand new exclusive collection in collaboration with Zara Home! This collection combines Tensira's unique craftsmanship with Zara Home's contemporary elegance, creating pieces that embody both sophistication and comfort.
