Our Story

We believe in the ‘frill’.

We believe in layers and ruffles and softness and comfort. We believe in big and bold and brave. We believe in kindness. We believe in colour, texture and words. We are inspired by people and places; from the wild spectrum of nature’s hues to the urban grittiness of city life. We believe in quality, sumptuousness, language, love, personality, art and statement. We seek the frill, and we seek the thrill. 


The Cushions

Our buoyant cushions were born out of a love for fun, beauty and an affection for home. The very nature of ‘a cushion’ is symbolic of comfort and of cuddles, of cosiness and of calm; they stand for the joy of a lazy morning, the power of an afternoon nap, the delight of a cosy night in. Yet, they are also pretty extras, inviting treats, popping decor! Whether sprinkled on sofas, or bundled on beds, they add depth and meaning. They add dimension. From placement to pattern to position to plumpness - the cushion must not be overlooked. 

Designer, Grace, dreamt up her ‘frilly frivolities’ whilst decorating her one-bed flat. Space was at a premium and every decision needed to be meaningful. The armchair remained empty for months because no cushion would do. No ruffle was big enough. No linen was lush enough. No design was ‘Home’ enough. 


Like the determined SE Londoner she is, Grace took matters into her own hands via a scrappy piece of paper and a shabby biro. She began dreaming of the kind of cushion that she wanted to dominate her living space. With a dreamy vision, dedicated work and a devoted effort to connect with the right manufacturer, The Cushion was born. 


Her armchair is finally complete.
