About Becky
I like to create beautiful things and be surrounded by them...
I’m a water loving Pisces raised on a Waitaki forestry nursery.
Based in Ōtautahi now I’m a mother to two handsome sons, I love music festivals and dress up parties, growing flowers, long hot summers, and camping trips in our vintage caravan.
I am extraordinarily practical, fastidiously tidy and a prolific maker of things – taught by my mother how to mend, sew, knit, embroider, crochet, bead, weave, paint, stencil and make beautiful things that stand the test of time.
Without apology I am a self-confessed colour-holic from the tip of my ruby red slippers to the top of my tiara. As far as black goes I own a studded black leather jacket and mascara – end of story!
Working in the New Zealand interiors industry has reinforced what I already knew - that we are generally a conservative bunch when it comes to colour, often more concerned with a neutral palette for resale than creating a home interior that screams – this is me!
I have had a long running love affair with cushions and now we are out of the closet for all to see – my gorgeous couch tossed, chair propped, bed stacked, floor flung kaleidoscopes of modern opulence, playful sophistication and colour!
MY PHILOSOPHY
Every cushion is designed with a strong sense of individuality, created to bring colour and personality into a space, rather than blend into the background.
My collection celebrates craftsmanship, bold expression, diverse style and the beauty of thoughtfully collected interiors.
HANDMADE IN CHRISTCHURCH
Each cushion is handmade in Ōtautahi Christchurch, using carefully selected fabrics from around the world and quality vintage furnishing fabrics procured within New Zealand.
Designed to be both functional and expressive, my cushions are made to be layered, lived with and loved over time.
