Whilst feeding my addiction to kimono fabric I was amazed to discover that Japan was heavily influenced by western modernist design in the 1950's and 60's. I have found fabrics heavily inspired by Eames and Day which give any piece of 'Bark Cloth' a run for its money. As with European vintage print fabric, these are highly collectable. But of course THESE are hand painted, 100% silk and entirely unique.

Full description

'African Trees'

This stunning cushion is made from genuine vintage kimono fabric from the 1950's. It depicts trees and leaves in a modernist african style. With a bright vermillion, cherry red, black, yellow and aqua print on a cream background, handpainted with gold details. The reverse of the cushion is vintage kimono black silk lining. There is only one of these cushions left in my collection! Due the hand-painted nature of this kimono fabric, the last cushion has a slightly different pattern to the one pictured.

I hope you can display and enjoy this cushion as if a beautiful work of art or sculpture. Much of the cloth I use is hand embroidered or hand -painted and I think this is a wonderful way of preserving such an ancient and revered craft.

100% silk cover.

Measures 35cm x 35cm.

Has a duck feather filler and non-removebale cover.

This is a hand-painted cushion. !!Do not get it wet!! Seek professional advice for cleaning.
