The Barcelona Line at VivaTerra

Rattan furniture can be used to beautiful effect, but it can also be really boring sometimes. These pieces by VivaTerra address the boring part with rainbow stripes woven into a storage cube, upholstered bench and armchair. And in true eco-fashion, the cushions are stuffed with kapok, a natural alternative to foam.

Does anyone know where to buy a cushion for a bench like that? I've checked PotteryBarn, WorldMarket, Crate&Barrel, couple of outdoor furniture places...even Urban Outfitters!

Many places sell a bench with a cushion, but I'd just like the cushion...

And custom making one was surprisingly expensive (100 bucks!), and I don't own a sewing machine.

Any ideas?

Last summer Pier One Imports sold cushions for benches/settees separately. I'm not sure if they have them during the winter or if it would work for you, but thought I would pass it along.

I'm having the same problem! Who knew it would be so difficult?

Pier1 does still have those cushions, but they're wayyyyyy too deep (front to back) for my bench -- probably 20" deep as opposed to the 12" or so that I need.

Meh. Not that cute. I would get tired of the rainbow look very quickly.

I like the size of this, it's very good for a small space. I checked the price--$395 and $25 shipping. I'm still trying to figure out how to justify the purchase.
