Full description
This really striking cushion is a complete one off!
Hand made using a deep orange vermillion vintage kimono silk, hand printed with a cream crane (the whites are not as white as they look here!), the fabric has a fabulous geometric pattern incorporated into the weave. The same vintage kimono silk is used for the reverse of the cushion. It has a real 'Biba' boho feel about it!
The cloth has been taken from a rare and genuine unmarried lady's kimono dating from the 1970's. I believe it to be a reproduction of a genuine art deco era pattern. The kimono has been carefully unpicked and I have chosen particular details in the cloth and cropped the fabric accordingly to look good as a cushion. The fabric originates from the Niigata region in Japan which has been a main producer of kimono fabric for over one hundred years.
I hope you can display and enjoy this cushion as if a beautiful work of art or sculpture. These cushions are complete one-offs! Much of the cloth I use is hand embroidered or hand-printed and I think this is a wonderful way of preserving such an ancient and revered craft.
