Post DeStijl Pillows Pattern Download

Description

The horizontal and vertical elements in this design are reminiscent of the De Stijl art period in the early 1900s. While the artists of the time advocated using only the primary colors, plus black and white, these pillows break away from those restraints with a fresh take on color. Play with a new color palette, or even consider replacing the citron color with a print. The sample uses Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in Jade Green, Cactus, Leprechaun, and Violet.
