Super Texture 2018
On Abstract – "Details of a cityscape watercolour from textile artist Josephine Ortega were blown up in scale and separated on graph paper to create a grid – a technique familiar in tapestry pattern, but supersized for this project."
About The Collection
Abstract is the name we are giving a pair of cushions made using techniques from the rug and carpet industries. Thick, wooly, harder wearing and generally more substantial than most cushions these are hand tufted in Varanasi, Northern India, by extraordinarily skilled craftsmen. The loops, tufts and the variety of pile heights accentuate the hand-crafted nature of these cushions – impossible to create by machine. Made from New Zealand wool, backed with natural linen and generously filled with Danish duck feathers – outstanding materiality and a human touch.

Geo's embroidered graphic illustrations inspired by natural rock formations pattern the textured surface of cool, natural tones of linen and cotton. Geo cushions are embroidered by hand and machine on a base of natural linen and cotton mix, then filled with Danish duck feathers. Geo is a lightweight collection with superior comfort.

Paint is a set of cushions with a subtle painterly print of abstracted urban landscapes rendered onto super soft linen mix. We commissioned young upcoming British talent Josephine Ortega to create a set of abstracted architectural watercolours based on scenes of British urbanism. Pigment of pinks and indigo were then ink jet printed onto a textured off-white linen mix to form stackable landscapes. Paint is woven from natural linen mixed with lightweight viscose for a soft and natural feel.
