We remain passionate about British design and good quality cushions and throws. To this end, we have teamed up with great British designers such as 'People Will Always Need Plates' and 'Jan Constantine' to create new, fresh, modern designs in our own name.
More than 300 items are available online and through the catalogue. As well as cushions and throws from famous names including Nina Campbell, Thomas Paul and Designers' Guild, there is a large selection from smaller lesser known names working at the exciting edge of home fashion. You'll find British talent and tongue-in cheek, quirky designers such as Lost and Found, Donna Wilson and Thornback and Peel. Many of the products are handfinished by skilled artisans to create unique pieces that will last for years.
And you may not know that we also feature a large choice of gifts and home accessories, mainly textile based. Prices range from £3.50 for ribbon to £200 for a large Union Jack throw. Cushions are available from just £7.00.
We've included a handy index of our best sellers sorted by colour in the middle of the catalogue to make it easier for people to find cushions and gifts to suit their homes and tastes.
The London Cushion Company has created 6 new collections - See attached press release for images:
1. Rock 'n' Roll – Discover graffiti style messages on supersoft wool or details such as London taxis, policemen, soldiers and red buses, metallic trim and diamanté excesses on cool velvet. We Love: Donna Wilson's 'Blah, Blah', £42 and Jan Constantine's 'I love London' range, £80.
2. Brights – On-trend designs that blend bold colour with a modern take on folk style. Highlights include Russian Baboushkas or floral patterns you'll remember from the 1970's. We love: Owl from Donna Wilson, £60 and our own exclusive People Will Always Need Plates original London designs, from £35.
3. Modern Vintage – Cool Skandinavian colours, Romany hearts, small prints and quirky designs to bring a touch of retro style. Map and travel inspired ideas: ideal for men but loved by everyone are always our best sellers. We love Nina Campbell's new 100% Scottish large Lambswool throws, £135.
4. Creatures – In this collection designers work hard to capture the fragile beauty of a creature. From bees, diamanté butterflies on velvet, hand drawn Sea Bream, birds, cute, cuddly dogs and cats, there is an animal, fish or insect for everyone. Each one is very different in style and fabric. We love Rabbit on silk from Thornback and Peel, £45.
5. Children – Tasteful cushion designs for a boy's bedroom which include wool stars, stripes and Union Jack motifs, or cotton pirates, plus hard-to-find stylish cushions for babies and bright customised cushion initials perfect for god children. We collaborated with Jan Constantine to make our own exclusive design 'First Tooth Cushion' which comes complete with pocket for a message to the tooth fairy, £30.
6. Gifts include personalised designs and a fantastic range of children's cushions but we also feature; 'make your own'monster cushions, textile items from ribbon, bunting to aprons and tea towels. Plus truly beautiful hand made English porcelain candle votives with a 'home' message written in a pin hole design. Many of our best sellers return from the simple hanging metal heart decorations to scented candles.
