Winter 2013 Home Inspiration Collection

Winter garden collection coming soon to Cushion Spot


Introducing you to Madras Link Winter 2013 Collection

Unexpected colour dominates this season. Artisanal finishes, ethnic references with a modern interpretation and 70’s geometric designs feature heavily. Beautiful embroideries and Ikat prints round off the collection.

Soft furnishings, decorator accessories, napery, rugs and doormats all coordinate to showcase the best this season has to offer. Select from Global Traveller, Provincial, Retro Seed, Metropolis, Hanae Ikat & Pondicherry Bedding, Kaleidoscope, Junior or Winter Garden ranges.

Bold graphics employ a vivid colour palette in our Global Traveller range. Chevrons, diamonds and pixels are key, while simplified objects and shapes are repeated in varying widths and tones. An urban collage of Ikat meets Aztec meets Ethnic design. Eclectic yet controlled - organic textures, weathered effects and a handmade feel are brought to the fore to imbue an earthly, cultural, well travelled feel.

Our Provincial range encapsulates simplicity, space, calm and light. Natural materials prevail such as wood, linen and cotton. Embroidery, felt and subtle embellishments add texture and depth. White plays an essential role and we see biscuit beige, off white, taupe and eggshell – neutral colours working harmoniously together.

Vintage inspiration is the underlying influence for shapes, details and prints in our Retro Seed range. Colours are muted, warm and slightly faded - a sentimental, yet contemporary update on yesteryear’s vogue. The retro theme extends into the shape of furniture and the use of materials such as dark wood and fashioned metal. 

Provincial range - a select few are available at www.cushionspot.com.au
Metro Seed range

Block geometrics, unfinished appeal and the bustling heart of urban living shape our Metropolis range. Strong lines and bold colours are layered on neat, stark backgrounds for striking appeal. Bold graphics, triangles and squares inject a jolt of life into minimalist spaces. Shiny glossy materials provide a sleek finish.

Tribal inspired design and eclectic ethnic patterns with a contemporary finish bring a fresh approach to motifs with ancient roots in our Hanae Ikat bedding range. Watercolour effect fabric, furnishings and accessories are energized and revitalised this season and complement both bold and neutral tone décor for an inviting, warm winter bedroom.

The Pondicherry range completes our bedding story. Large stylized floral motifs with a French persuasion forms the foundation of this bedding range. Kantha stitches, hand screen prints and the warmth of the colour rust adds to grace and feminine charm.

Simple lines with textured finishes are at the core of the Kaleidoscope range. Artistic strokes create new patterns from old. Infused with an innovative indigenous flair and a distinct colour palette, this simple range has a bold youthful appeal.

Whimsical and colourful elephants march across our Junior range. Co-ordinated with colourful ginghams, this bright and happy story of bedding, cushions, bunting and baby accessories is bound to be a winner.

The colours of autumn combine with wire, florals and ceramic to create an inviting Winter Garden. Decorator accessories, soft furnishings and furniture form simple, timeless and purpose driven outdoor spaces with entertaining appeal.

Every pillow is hand screened in the studio in Gorham, Maine, onto one of two choices of FABRICS WOVEN IN THE USA: Natural colored 100% cotton BARK CLOTH or an OATMEAL RECYCLED POLY COTTON TWILL. The  recycled poly cotton fabric utilizes fibers and yarns, largely made from clear plastic water bottles that have been recovered from our environment after at least one consumer use cycle. All yarns are 100% post-consumer recycled polyester and are SCS certified.

All prints are hand screened with eco-minded water based inks with a super soft hand. Every pillow is generously stuffed with a hypo-allergenic faux down insert made for us by a family owned pillow company in Florida.

Each pillow is one-of-a-kind, stitched together, pressed, and mindfully packaged with a funky cool letter-pressed hang tag printed with a Chandler & Price printing press by Mark Dunstan, Mainer, charming story teller, and a lover of metal type and all things less manufactured, on recycled chip board. Each tag tells our story, and the back can be used as a customizable gift tag.
