Cushion Close-up

Photograph Charles Lester

Luxury silk pleated cushions inspired by nature.

A cushion whose colors have been inspired by nature is resting against the trunk of a Walnut tree and blending in with the colors of the fall leaves and dried grasses. This picture shows how the Lesters work closely to achieve color combinations that compliment any setting designed by the most sophisticated individual client or their interior decorator. Charles and Patricia create colors inspired by perhaps a delicate jewel, or they might chosen burnished steel as their tutor or perhaps a tiny scrap of color hidden in the shadows of wild fungus.

Pillows such as the example shown in this picture are made from the intricately hand pleated silk which has first been painted in colors as an artist would depict the folds, highlights and shadows of cloth in order to give the three dimensional quality of the garments depicted. Painting the cloth in this way adds a depth that gives the cloth a rich and fluid look even before the pleating and sculpting work is done. The result is an interesting accessory for the home which is a work of art as well as a luxurious addition to any decor.
