We have just acquired a fantastic collection of vintage textiles from Finland.Vintage textile collectionSome are from the 1960s, some from the 70s. The textile designs are by Marimekko, Pirrko Hammarberc, Tampella, and Fujiwo Ishomoto.  These textiles are destined to be repurposed into upholstery and bolsters. If you would like a custom sized pillow or upholstery, please get in touch asap to discuss possibilities. Click on the photo for a link to more images from this collection.

Our collection is unique as each sofa pillow or back bolster or floor pillow or whatever it is that inspires us is one of a kind. All decorative textiles chosen are antique and repurposed from far reaches of the globe. I became fascinated with the color and beauty of Central Asian textiles while travelling across Asia last year with my family. I was completely blown out of the water with the workmanship and craft that went into making what was once considered peasant material. I began to think that these textiles could be an ideal match for the furniture I have been making. Both the textiles and the furniture represent an old world way of craft – doing it by hand! Some of the pillows come from Uzbekistan and a couple others currently in stock are from Japan. All pillows are stuffed with artificial horse hair quilt batting. All suede used is supplied by the Silk Trading Co. Please email directly for inquiries into the provenance and availability of individual upholsteries.  Additions will be added to collection in limited numbers only as much as my search for textiles allows.
