As a collector of portraits – I often wonder who is the person in the portrait? This series of pillows were created for Anthropologie from favorites in my collection. Stories were written as if each were revealing a small bit of their character.
The Pillow Talk series can be ordered directly through www.anthropologie.com or through Swarm without the pillow insert for €150.

Each Myriad necklace tells its own story through the unique combination of time worn oil paintings exhibited on thick timber discs. Linked by natural cord, each disc can be turned to display a different part of a painting, allowing the wearer to create a multitude of variations that reflect their outfit du jour and current state of mind. Timber discs 1.5″ diameter.

This new collection by Swarm further explores the concept of re-invention and manipulation of juxtaposed materials. By strategically altering some of the original components, new life is breathed into each chair, transforming them into the “altered” ego of their former self. While still preserving their natural charm, each chair now has it’s own distinct personality. The addition of unexpected elements like hooks and handles allows them to play a more active role, taking their functionality within the home to a whole new level.
