In art the word baroque is used to describe anything grand,
unusual or otherwise departing from established rules and proportions.
It is a complex style, appealing to the senses, often in dramatic
ways. Baroque elements in interior design emphasize grandeur, sensuous
richness, and drama.
Our
Baroque collection draws upon this rich historical tradition by
offering a selection of stars - five or six pointed
cushions and pillows in classic combinations of crushed or embossed
velvet, combined with metallic brocade or damask and beaded embroidery
or trim.
Our dramatic sun cushions compliment these in shades
of tawny velvet, combined with metallic gold lamé. Sun cushions
can be made with anything from eight to twelve points, and are the
most dramatic items in our entire repertoire.
Combining jewel shades of velvet with gold metallic, these cushions
and pillows are particularly suitable for creating a sumptuous and
dramatic effect, set against antique or traditional furniture that
has carved or inlaid surfaces. They also work well with any dark
wood in simpler settings. Or throw them on the bed to create a truly
glamorous boudoir!
Alternately, use them to add interest to a contemporary room set.
In black or purple combined with silvery tones, they work well with
modern metallics and glass in an industrial or minimalist
setting.
