THE CUSHIONS

"I WANTED TO EXPRESS A COMBINATION THAT WENT AGAINST THE OBVIOUS, TO UNITE OPPOSITES THROUGH COLLECTIONS OF HANDMADE CUSHIONS."

OCHER BLOSSOM

"OCHER BLOSSOM" COLLECTION

"EACH COLLECTION HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO BRING TOGETHER THE ANCIENT AND THE MODERN. SOME OF THE PIECES ARE MADE FROM OLD LINEN SHEETS FOUND IN FAMILY WARDROBES. BY USING MIXES OF RAW AND REFINED TEXTURES, LIKE THE SOFTNESS OF VELVET AND THE ROUGHNESS OF OLD FIBRES, FOR EXAMPLE."

BOUGAINVILLEA

"BOUGAINVILLEA" COLLECTION

FINISHES

"IN MOST OF MY WORK, THE DESIRE TO BRING OUT THE UNEXPECTED LEADS ME TO USE THE SELVEDGES LEFT UNUSED BY THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY TO REVEAL THE ESSENTIAL IMPORTANCE OF LINES."

TRUMPET VINE

"TRUMPET VINE" COLLECTION

THE HISTORY OF THE CUSHION BEGAN 7000 YEARS BEFORE JESUS CHRIST IN ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA. THESE FIRST CUSHIONS WERE CARVED IN STONE. THEIR FUNCTION WAS INITIALLY NOT DECORATIVE, BUT TO PREVENT INSECTS FROM CRAWLING UP TO THE FACE. AS STONE WAS EXPENSIVE, THEY WERE ONLY USED BY WEALTHY CITIZENS.

BLACK BACARA ROSE

"BLACK BACARA PINK" COLLECTION

"IT ALL BEGAN ON ONE OF THOSE SUMMER AFTERNOONS. THE COUNTRYSIDE OFFERED ITSELF TO THE CHILD THAT I WAS. I TRAVELLED AROUND AN INFINITE POETRY, IT SPOKE OF BEES AND WILD FLOWERS. OF NATURE REBORN TO INFINITY. AFTER A WINTER, IT HAS GROWN BUT ITS YOUTH REMAINS UNCHANGED."
