Graphic Print Pillows And The People Who Made Them

We often feature designs and products that are all made by people, but we don’t always know much about the people behind the designs, so today we’re going to introduce you to five people who design some lovely contemporary graphic print pillows. Let’s get started…


Sian Elin Thomas

This Welsh designer creates bold hand-drawn details inspired by her travels, the people, and architecture she encounters along the way. After spending a number of years as a children’s book designer, Sian switched careers to open an online boutique.

A big supporter of local craftspeople, she employs local Welsh seamstresses to assemble the textiles and has the digital printing done in the north of England. Visit the Sian Elin website, here.
