Siren Song Kyoto Velvet Cushion - 18”

Siren Song is a collection that aims to draw one in. The goal is for each piece to be unique and alluring in some way. Every item is precious, whether it is a piece of horn jewelry or a hand-carved tray.

Part of the inspiration for this collection comes from Dutch still life paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries. These paintings were also called “Vanitas”. They contained depictions of symbolic items, many referencing death or symbolic of different aspects of life, such as skulls, fruits, butterflies, flowers, and musical instruments.

Our Kyoto velvet cushions are inspired by vintage Japanese prints. Richly printed on a heavy and lush cotton velvet. They feature a heavy brass zipper and are partially lined on the inside.
