This exuberant Gauguin-inspired, over-sized cushion is a painting in wool. A palette of 18 colors expressses the passionate tropical mix of flora. The knitting is much easier than you might think; large blocks of color are knit in, the multi-color detail is embroidered on after knitting using a large back stitch (or leaf stitch), and then the cushion front is felted. This impressive piece is a perfect fit in both classic and modern interiors. Finished size is approximately 20" wide x 21.5" tall x 4" deep. Designed by Marta McCall.
