A collection of pillows where the design is of utmost importance. Each side of the 96 pillows bears an original statement print. It's like getting two pillows in one. After twenty years of creating original artwork for the fashion and home interior markets, Francis Jens Spitta was ready to launch his own collection. For this range he was inspired by everything from classic Americana to Flea Markets. Nauticals re-imagined, Earthy Batiks with an urban edge and Ikats mixed with almost abstract Florals that have a painterly feel.
He loves to rework classic images whether it's infusing them with unexpected color or blowing up the scale out of proportion and pairing them with a contrasting print. He's taken the iconic images of his life and twisted them around a bit and turned them into pillows. Those stunning delicate handkerchiefs in my grandmother'~s top drawer? Pillows. The batiks I wore in seventh grade? They've been urbanized. All the pillows are lovingly sewn and hand printed in Los Angeles on a fabrication that feels like a cross between a silk twill and a cool, crisp, cotton shirt. And everything is machine washable. |
