The Carnival Embroidered Cushion is a celebration of expressive colour and layered craftsmanship, where archival design is transformed through the hand of Alice Kettle. Featuring a vibrant composition across Green, Cirque en Fleur and Stockholm fabrics, the design unfolds in a richly saturated palette, alive with movement, rhythm and decorative intensity.
Each cushion is hand embroidered by Alice Kettle, whose intuitive, gestural stitching brings depth and individuality to the design. Using cotton thread, she traces and responds to the printed ground, layering texture and narrative across the surface. No two are alike; each cushion becomes a singular, one-off edition, defined by the rhythm of the artist’s hand.
The reverse offers a calm, textural counterpoint, while the piped edge frames the composition with a refined finish of circus piping, allowing the richness of the colours and embroidered detail to take centre stage.
Presented as Limited Editions, these cushions move beyond decoration into the realm of the collectible, objects that embody artistry, craftsmanship and the enduring value of the handmade.
