Pillow Talk

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.

ALTERED PERSPECTIVES Amazing idea from Little Owl….  “Taking two usually separate objects [Paintings & Blue and White Transferware] each containing scenes, or ‘perspectives’, and through artful alteration produced unexpected new images from the combination of both. The juxtaposition results in something that becomes a conversation piece as the canvas of the painting merges with the printed images of the plates. A landscape painted in the Netherlands blends into an English country scene on the plate, and in the process a new image is made through the merging of both. The roughness of canvas from the paintings and the smooth gloss of the plates makes for an appealing contrast of surfaces.” www.littleowl.eu

Altered Ego Chair

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.
