Our Iconic Cushions

Cushions are one of the small luxuries of life. They add colour and inspiration to any room and are a great way to help create a designer theme. Whether grouped together or used as individual highlights, our cushions are ideal for adding that “out-of-the-ordinary” into the mix and make a real visual impact. Designed for comfort as well as style, our cushions are all made with the same fabric and are the same size to co-ordinate together. They can be thrown together for a great overall effect or placed individually to accent your existing theme.

Quality Design

All our iconic cushions show an iconic design on the front of the cushion without using too much colour on the front (they way they blend much better to the couch or chair colour that you have). The back of our iconic cushions are then printed with a bold colour on the back with the extension of the front design. This makes our cushion totally reversible and you can mix and match the front and the back with other cushions from our range.

Our Iconic Artworks

Every one of our artworks has been hand screen printed with love and care. Each piece has been numbered as a limited edition print, titled and stamped. Our artworks are printed on pH neutral paper made-up of 40% post consumer recycled fibre, 5% cotton and 55% chlorine free pulp from well managed forests. Basically this means it is both earth friendly and of the highest archival quality. Hand screen printing means our products often have some irregularities. We consider these to be part of their charm and hope you do as well. pre-cut and ready to mount.

Pre-Cut and ready to mount

Our artworks are designed to fit simply into an IKEA Ribba frame (50cm X 70cm $59.00) that already comes with a pre-cut mount, so it makes it that much easier for you to hang on your wall. However, we do recommend that you flatten your artwork under weights (or just books) for a few days to make sure it's nice and flat before placing in your frame. Then all you have to do is admire it. Each screenprinted artwork comes packaged in handy cardboard tube, which makes it easy for storage, posting, and makes them look as a great gift. Current limited editions are runs of 100, 200 or 300. (Once they're gone they're gone!)

Urban education and unsung icons

We capture iconic images and landmarks of our cities and transform them into cushions, tea towels, mugs and framed screenprints. But more than that, we aim to educate you on the history of the icons and what makes them so unique and appealing. When we did a bit of research and discovered their origin, we knew we had to share it with the locals and tourists alike. We highlight what we call “Urban Education” on each and every one of our products, either on the product’s packaging or on the product itself. By delivering function, style and knowledge these products offer something truly unique and, of course, iconic. I feel smarter already..... Everyone knows the landmarks of their own city. Tourists see them in photos; locals accept them as part of the backdrop to their lives. Icons are different. These are the unsung heroes of a city, things that locals not only accept, but grow to love. But only the locals of a city know what these icons really are.
