Our custom-made pillows have a hidden zipper closure along one side. This makes the pillow more versatile than a traditional envelope-closure, because either side can be used as the front. The case is easily removable for cleaning. Our fluffy pillow insert is a down feather blend and are intentionally an inch or two larger than the cover for maximum puffiness. The size indicated is the size of the insert.
This unique & versatile speckled botanical print is a clever blend of styles. The motifs are inspired by the archives of textile design studio Farkas-Ortenzi, of Como, Italy during the 1960s-70s. The original artwork is hand-drawn in ink, and thus tiny irregularities can be found throughout.
The design studio overlooking Lake Como was founded in 1955 by Italian artist Francesco Ortenzi and his brother-in-law Paolo Farkas, who fled from Hungary during the war. They were known for graphic two-color textile designs, and their work was used widely on many projects from interiors, to fashion, to ceramics. Their studio was a pioneer in the Como textile industry, and later became an art academy that welcomed students worldwide from the1960s-1990s.
Deceptively classic at first glance, the art contains eight distinct motifs, including fleur de lis, paisley, and a 1960s pop art daisy. The print ground is a dotted stipple visual texture reminiscent of some of the earliest wallpaper designs, created by the French Oberkampf Manufactory in the 1700s. The loose hand-drawn style is both youthful and sophisticated; utilitarian, but full-of-surprises.
