Adam & Viktoria.



I was recently given this gift. A pillow by swedish design duo Adam and Viktoria. It has inspired me beyond what one could imagine. Lets break it down into categories:

Color: The color scheme of this pillow is monochromatic. Each green was carefully chose to compliment each other green. This again is a prime example of how restraining color can lead to a more tasteful, beautiful design.

Pattern: The pattern is fantastic. While I could not find any information on where the designers inspiration comes from, my belief is that the motifs are of a northern european influence. The over all composition is extremely well balanced too!

Fabrication: Made from a very fine belgian upholstery linen and a cotton rayon velvet blend, the two fabrics contrast in luster makes the pillow shine quite literally!

Technique: The velvet is appliqued onto the linen. This type of craftsmanship is rarely seen in the world of today!

Here are some other images taken from their website:




I love my new pillow.

I cannot wait to apply this fabrication and technique to my designs.
