Modern Decorative Pillows
Finding the perfect pillow to finish off a room is no easy task. However, if you do a little homework, you will be pleasantly surprised at the number of options available at a reasonable price. Little pieces of art in the form of a pillow.
In row one, we were interested to see pillows with human themes. The Air Traffic Pillow, is an unlikely subject portrayed in an unexpected color combination, $70. 2 OK Hands Holding Pieces Pillow wins the prize for either the longest or most literal name – but we love the bright graphic combined with photorealism, $59. Antwerp/Cape Town, part of the HZL by Henzel Collection of art pillows combines graphic, contemporary themes with human faces, cover only: $62.
In row two, graphic designs are explored. Bud in Chocolate Pillow by Inhabit is a graphic interpretation of a nature-inspired theme, $60. Wood Green Pillow is inspired by wood grain - a pillow designed for outdoor use. It is by Working Class Studio, a project of the Savannah College of Art & Design, bringing the work of students, alumni and faculty to market. Kalina Blue Pillow provides a bold, textural graphic via its construction. Sapphire blue satin silk is pleated into a black cotton background, $75.
In the third row we return to the traditional floral and garden themes – but these pillows have their own twist on tradition. Thomas Paul’s Metamorphisis Pillow recalls an in-progress paint-by-the-numbers, $100. The last two pillows, are from the Finnish design house, Marimekko. Kaakappuu, Finnish for Cocoa Plant, recalls the bold botanical patterns of William Morris. Cover only: $28. Kukka, also from Marimekko, features an offset flower in a single bright graphic. Cover only: $28.
