It’s said that when impressionist painter Claude Monet first saw the town of Giverny from a train window, he was so taken with it, he decided to move there. While living there Monet created some of the most moving garden paintings in existence, including a work from the “Water Lilies” series, which is expected to go for at least $30 million at auction next month.

Just received our sample pillows from our Shuki line. These pillows were inspired by the works of Okamoto Shuki, and artists well known for his hand painted works on silk. In the last few months we have been working on adapting a few botanical works into textile formats. After meticulous grafting, adjustments in color and exposure, we were able to adapt works into a pillow. Stay tuned for more pillows to come.  April is National Poetry Month.

Just finished photographing some new pillows. These may look familiar from works in the Ming and Qing dynasties. But what separates these are the colors and resolutions. Each has been manually adjusted in several iterations to highlight a more flattering exposure with care to accentuate contrast and coloration. My favorite is Purple Blossoms inspired by Yun Shouping's study in One Hundred Flowers; note how the shades of pink, purple, and fuchsia float lively in a bed of minty greens.
