Fabric + Form cushions feature hand screen printed fabric, produced by First Nations communities at art centres in outback Australia. The artwork is unique and tells the stories of the artists land and their people from many generations. 
Each cushion is piped and upholstered with a matching woven fabric on the back.
 
Note - Each cushion is unique, with pattern placement varying from one to another. Slight colour variations may also occur due to the printing technique.
