Design: Abstract Neon
Materials: Irish linen
Designer: Mariska Meijers
"I am an Amsterdam based artist recently branched out into applied arts bringing my original art in to everyday life through pillows, trays, small furniture and stationery.
The Abstract Neon pillow is made in The Netherlands."
"The original hand painted design is printed on linen by a Dutch company that creates mainly high end fashion fabrics for designers like Paul Smith and Jonathan Saunders. An atelier in Amsterdam does the sewing. The pillows are lined and have a distinct velvet ribon on the back. The orginal design is also applied to a matching series of Eco friendly birchwood trays handmade in Scandinavia."

Happy happy colors! So bright and cheerful.
I checked out Mariska Meijers' website & was instantly captivated by not only her art but a quote by her on the the opening page:
"I don't believe in minimalism. There are no rules when it comes to mixing styles & colours. A house should give you a happy & warm feeling. With this in mind I create my art & my products."
She's preaching to the choir!!!
Love the bright bold colors & strokes in her artwork. The picture of her in front of what appears to be an inspiration wall is fantastic!!
I love Mariska's work. It is so cheerful and bright. Her cushions make my sitting room look so much more fun. Reiniera
I like her use of bright colors and high quality fabrics on her cushions. It gives your house a happy atmosphere.
I like bold colors but I think the trays would be a bit much for their size and use--competing too much with whatever you are serving so definitely not for the kitchen and sleeping on that might be a bit restless ...might be more suited for a pool party/outdoor tablecloths where the brightness doesn't take over any competing art & no one is eating at the table.
I am the lucky one. I have the same cushion. Her cushion makes my working room very colorful. I love this bright and vibrant color scheme. It feels so warm and inviting. I will definitely use the trays for a nice tea party. Greetings from ping living in Amsterdam.
