Pillow with 1950s Swiss Plaid and Cashmere

designer :: Quintessentia

new item with vintage elements::

A pillow to enliven your mid-century modern or contemporary interior. Plaids to the rescue! This pillow is made with new old stock, 1950s, open weave plaid by the Swiss fabric atelier, Creation Baumann. The cording and the other side is a finely woven cashmere wool blend in the base color of the plaid. The combination of the two fabrics harmonizes perfectly and has a graphic appeal that is distinctly modern yet adds the perfect touch of vintage charm. A pillow that David Hicks might have used.

Each Q Living pillow is designed by Quintessentia combining vintage and antique fabrics from different time periods and genres. We believe this is a wonderful way to integrate rare and unusual fabrics, aesthetically and artistically, into modern daily life and an opportunity to create something unique and special.

Each pillow is individually sewn in private workshops in Zurich, Switzerland using the best materials, including YKK zippers, handmade trims and design accents. The inserts are 100% down feather-filled, cotton-covered pillows expressly created for Quintessentia. As the pillows are made with vintage or antique fabrics, slight variations of color and pattern between pillows may occur.
