Macrame and weaves are back from the seventies, and how! Prepare yourself to see more of the artisan pieces in interior design coming season. In eastern and African cultures where handicrafts and artisan craftsmanship is more prevalent, it never left, but in the western cultures it died a silent death in the eighties.
