Single Handmade Bolster Cushion

This amazing bolster cushion is a rare find.  It has been skillfully handcrafted from a reclaimed Silk Obi.  The unique and striking design of three Cranes in a modern Art Deco style has been embroidered onto a heavy weight silk Obi using lustrous and metallic threads in peachy pink and silver tones.  The main fabric is a soft pastel peach that has metallic silver flecks throughout.  Backed with soft slate colour cotton velvet.  It is a true statement piece and work of art in its own right.

Cranes are life partners and are symbolic of Love, Fidelity and a Long and Abundant Life.

*Please be aware that although all fabrics are professionally cleaned, due to the nature of using up-cycled and vintage materials some pieces may have small marks or fold lines. They are all part of the history and tell the story of an item’s previous life. If any are present, they will be noted in the description and pictures.

Symbolism

Cranes or Tsuru are monogamous life partners.  Each New Year they perform a courtship dance with their partner to further strengthen their bond and love.  They symbolise Fidelity, and a Long and Abundant Life.

Product Care Guide

K-Squared Cushions are luxurious, decorative cushions made from reclaimed Kimono and Obi fabrics, designed for use on beds, sofas, or chairs. They should not be used as floor cushions, outdoors or sat on.  The are mainly made from silk, with hand painted designs, metallic threads or embroidery.  The delicate nature of these fabrics mean
they require some special care:

  •  Handle with care ~ Avoid rough use. Not suitable for babies, pets, outdoor use or as floor cushions. (defiantly no pillow fights)
  • Keep away from direct sunlight ~ To prevent fading and the degradation of the silk fibres.
  • Keep dry ~ Dry clean only.  Be careful of sweaty backs or spillages.
  • Spot clean stains ~ Carefully dab stains (do not rub), or get professionally dry cleaned. 
  • Avoid sharp objects ~ Such as pets claws, that may snag or tear the fabric.
  • Store properly ~ Keep in a cool, dry place.
  • Keep Away From Fires ~ or other heat sources such as radiators, candles, incense sticks etc as the cushions or inserts may be flammable. 

The cushion inserts are made from sustainable Kapok and Tencel.  The same advice applies as above.  They will stay full and plump if gently
fluffed after use, and stored properly.
