Andrew Sebastian launched a line of pillows by Kii Arens in December 2009 that offer shoppers a new look in Home/Office Decor.
Along with a growing network of established artists and designers under their Artist Collection Series, Andrew Sebastian Inc. is not only presenting a new canvas for artists, but also a practical home decor product: pillows.
Using a process called sublimation, designers can create artwork as they see fit without any of the restrictions that come with embroidery or screen printing, producing a visually stunning piece of art that you can actually interact with and not just hang on your wall. The pillows are mostly made of satin which add to a soft-hand feel and come with fully customized signature detailing.
