Lively cushions are the ultimate interior accessory. Not only do they look great wherever placed but also infuse the space with some very inviting vibe. If you are looking for a perfect finishing touch, a whim to shake things up this season or just random summer fun, we bring to you our five favourites for some stylish comfort this season.
1. Right Profile
As part of the "Mughal Minimalism' range from Monsoon and Beyond, this grey cushion cover celebrates the beautiful form of the bygone era. Hand-cut, hand-dyed applique serves as a perfect synergy between great design and handicraft. Austrian designer Vera Fritsch, the founder of Monsoon And Beyond’, fell in love with India during a diplomatic mission job she was on in 2007 and subsequently set up Monsoon and Beyond in 2013 to unimaginable success. Each of her pieces are actually little visual stories. Care to take one home?
2. A Peculiar Dream
"Nights and days came and passed. And summer and winter and the rain. And it was good to be a little Island. A part of the world and a world of its own. All surrounded by the bright blue sea.” Inspired by Margaret Wise Brown's poem, 'The Little Island', Monsoon and Beyond created a timeless summer collection in shades of blue in combination with bright whites. This cushion cover is made with what’s considered as the fabric of royalty, chanderi, which is a blend of cotton and silk delivered by meshing zari into silk. Appropriately titled 'A peculiar dream', we would highly recommend this for a siesta on a hot summer afternoon.
3. Anju Dodiya Cushion (Set of 3)
Ever wondered about cushions charged with an emotional value? Vadhera Bookstore presents a set of 3 cushion covers with Anju Dodiya's art, that mainly deals with the idea of self. Pick one if you are in the mood to brood.
4. S.H. Raza Cushion
So what if you cannot afford a Raza? Invite the master home with his iconic image printed on a cushion cover. The energy of the bold colours and powerful brushstrokes make this and absolute eye catcher even for those with no special love for art.
5. Katran Collection: Red
Katran, in hindi means leftover cloth material. Hand embroidered in 100percent upcycled cotton fabric in signature Sahil and Sarthak style, this red cushion cover is an instant mood uplifter. Build on the ASAP (As Sustainable As Possible) brand philosophy, the studio aptly claims," buying Katran products won't save the world but it's definitely a step in the right direction."
