Cushion Epiphyte Cover-set 2

Cushion Epiphyte set of 3 covers

We find a lot of inspiration in the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi for interior decoration. In short, wabi-sabi has two sides – the impermanence of life and the beauty in simplicity.  Connecting to this second part, the simplicity of these plants, the uncomplicated colour scheme of green and taupe and the natural feel. It is distinctly opposite to what our daily living is about, the never-ending chase for complexity and technology. These cushions remind us of a quieter place, being in the moment, slowing down and seeing the beauty around us… Is this what you envision for your home?

Epiphytes or air plants grow on other plants without harming them.  They get their water and food from rain or the air and survive without touching the ground. This simple approach to life also links with the above sentiments.  It makes us think about what can we cut out of our lives towards a simpler and more rewarding existence.  Being more in touch with who we are inside.

These designs use single blocks from a bigger woven pattern and have a bold appearance making them ideal for bigger spaces or use them as a strong focal point in your bedroom.  The subdued colours in soft beige and greens will work well in a room with subtle hints of red, the complementary colour to green.

A few details:
This is a premium product made of a luxuriously soft fabric and has zippers for easy maintenance. The colours will not fade or wash out during ordinary use. We advise washing cycles for poly cotton products.  Importantly, avoid direct sunlight on these items. The cover sizes are 2 covers of 45×45 cm and one cover of 45x70cm. The prints are only on one side with a matching colour on the back panel. Please note they are sold without inners to make couriering easier.
