A single 45cm cushion face contains many thousands of individual stitches, which is the entire reason these sit at £60-£65 rather than the £15 a printed cushion costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you get for it is threefold. \u003cstrong\u003eReal texture\u003c\/strong\u003e — the surface has depth and catches light, where a print is flat. \u003cstrong\u003eClean colour\u003c\/strong\u003e — hand stitching puts colours side by side without the bleed you see at the edges of printed fabric, which is why the geometric designs here look crisp. And \u003cstrong\u003edurability\u003c\/strong\u003e — a needlepoint face will not crack, peel or fade the way a printed one does after a few years in a sunny room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe four groups\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTravel cities\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLondon, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Dubai and Havana. Architecture suits the technique better than almost anything, because needlepoint builds an image from a grid and buildings are straight lines and stacked blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese work grouped — two or three cities on one sofa reads as a considered collection rather than a souvenir. One on its own tells a more specific story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCoastal and holiday\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmalfi, Ibiza, Mykonos, St. Barts, St. Tropez, Tulum, Miami and Aspen.

Needlepoint is the craft of samplers and sitting rooms — patient, traditional, entirely respectable. Someone hand-stitching something blunt is funnier than printing it, which is why these land where a printed slogan cushion would just look cheap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePersonal\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eZodiac signs and the dog cushion.
