London calling

People Will Always Need Plates are without a doubt one of my favourite design companies, not just because I think their name is genius but also because they put iconic architecture on plates, bags, mugs and now cushions.

Their cushions are available as two designs; the Grade 2 listed Trellick Tower and Kensal Green.

I think they're great; they're stylish and striking, quirky yet serious and more over celebrate London's diverse and often controversial architecture.

Not sure they'll be on HRH Prince of Wales wish list (given his issues with modern buildings) but they're sure on mine...


Ahoy there!

So, after blogging about chairs on Chairs chairs chairs I decided I wanted to start a blog about cushions.

Cushions are another one of my passions and I reckon in the last seven years working as an interiors journalist, I must have written about a fair few!

Lost and Found is a great little company who design a wide range of soft furnishings including these nautical delights.

These ship shape and Bristol fashion cushions are inspired by naval uniforms, printed on hemp cotton and even come complete with antique military brass buttons.

I've had a long stand love affair with the sea so which is why I've fallen for these cushions too.
