We all have a favourite food, and for Ruth Sumner, the maker and creator of Heirloom Design, hers is honey, so why not have these indulgences as something tangi-ble and soft to snuggle into?
The inspiration for the cushions first came into fruition when the first of many sisters was heavily pregnant in the midst of a rip-roaring cherry season in Marlbor-ough; Thus a combination of filling (and ultimately rapidly emptying) many buckets of cherries and a sister needing something to ‘prop-her-up’ on the couch, the fruity cushions were born.
Using up-cycled classic NZ wool blankets, coupled with pure new wool, feather-down inners, nickel-free zippers and buckets of dedication and love, Ruth aims to explore and recapture recollections from the past, reinventing them with a modernist twist to give them purpose and beauty.
