Digging Anthropology

I've been busy lately making a set of cushions and ottoman for a home in Leichhardt, Sydney.
The client picked up today and was stoked. The cushion range included scatter cushions in several styles and box-edge cushions for lounging on the floor, all (again) in Warwick's Anthropology range. This time the colour way is 'Antique' which is darker hued than what you've seen from me before in projects such as the Santa Fe chair.
My favourite was the little patchwork rectangular scatter,shown in foreground of above pic. I reckon this is absolutely the most comfy shape for lumbar support in a sofa, armchair or car seat.

cushys galore

the workshop has been busy in commissioned-cushion-making mode:










from lumbar cushions for the Oslo sofa now living at Little Manly,










to 4 big day-bed cushions each with 2 bolsters, destined for 2 beach-shacks down at Era (in the Royal National Park)



to outdoor cushions in light canvas for my wonderful mother-out-law Margaret (with a little handbag made out of the left-overs, just for fun).






















Also these, made out of beautiful hand-prined pure linen. 




Fabric designer is Angie Lewin, whose work I love. If you like the design on this fabric, and don't yet know Angie's work, check out this little video, showing her explaining her design process in  her Norfolk (UK) studio:


There are lots of other commissions coming in - which is a great start for the business - but unfortunately all the orphans are feeling neglected and keep asking me "when's it our turn?"
