The Launch of the New Cushion Room

We've just launched the new Cushion Room with two stunning collections by Daniel Heath and Ella Doran.



Daniel Heath is a designer and illustrator based in London. Since graduating from The Royal College of Art, Daniel has developed his signature Circus Wallpaper collection which has been gathering fans worldwide.


This new collection of cushions has been exclusively designed for The Shop Floor Project and features the classic prints, Fantastic Jumbo and High Wire, alongside an exciting new design.


Taxidermy Birds (see below) depicts an array of birds in the process of being stuffed. The central bird has it’s wings pinned into position and it’s eyes have been prepared for their glass replacements. A beautiful yet macabre design that asks to be looked at again and again.


Hand printed onto soft needle cord with contrast piping, the cushions have been skillfully made in the UK and are filled with duck feathers to create a heavy upholstered feel.


Digital Landscape Cushions by Ella Doran




Ella Doran has been experimenting with mixing old printing methods with new digital technology to create vibrant textiles that translate beautifully into functional objects. A graduate of the prestigious textile course at Edinburgh College of Art, Ella’s textiles have been widely exhibited across the country.


The new Digital Landscape collection follows a popular show of her silk scarves at The Shop Floor Project and is based on patterns, forms and colours found in African and Aboriginal art.


Each cushion is expertly hand made in the UK - lined, backed, self-piped and includes the cushion filler.
