GP & J Baker showcases ready-made cushion collection designed by Kit Kemp

GP & J Baker showcased a ready-made cushion collection featuring designs by Kit Kemp. The company positions the cushions from the GP & J Baker x Kit Kemp series as a way to add layers of colour, pattern and personality to interiors. The collection can be viewed via a link on the company's website.

According to the company, this timeless collection was designed to add charm to warm, cosy corners or to create a layered look on sofas and beds. Presenting the cushions as ready-made products means they can be quickly added to a project by interior designers and decorators, without the need for measuring or sewing. The post does not include size, filling or fabric details, so product specifics should be checked on the company's own page.

The cushion as the final layer of a cohesive décor

Cushions are among the easiest pieces to add to the colour and pattern language established by a room's curtains, upholstery and wall coverings. When choosing upholstery fabrics, large patterns tend to look more balanced on wide surfaces, while small patterns and plain colours work better on smaller pieces. Within this balance, a cushion can serve two functions: harmonising with the main sofa fabric, or adding an accent that contrasts with a simple base. Because wall coverings, curtains and upholstery can be coordinated within the same colour family to create a cohesive scheme, ready-made cushions offer a practical option for buyers who want to complete that match.

In layered use, combining cushions of different patterns and colours on the same surface adds depth to a seating group or bed. This approach is a frequently used method for giving character to a space, particularly in warm, small-scale corners such as beside a single armchair or in front of a window.

The company's overall direction

GP & J Baker is a UK-based company operating in the field of curtain and upholstery fabrics. On its website, the company describes itself as one of the world's innovative names in fabric design. Its showroom at Chelsea Harbour Design Centre in London presents the company's fabric, wall covering, furniture and accessory work alongside its affiliated brands Threads and Baker Lifestyle, as well as the Kravet, Lee Jofa and Brunschwig & Fils brands. A second showroom on rue du Mail in Paris also carries the same brands.

The company also produces luxury fabrics, wallpapers and accessories under licence for Mulberry Home. It states that it can carry out bespoke projects, such as adapting an existing product or pattern with its in-house designers or developing an individual design to a specific brief. The company's packing and dispatch unit, which it says delivers orders quickly and in optimal condition, is also highlighted in its presentation. GP & J Baker holds a Royal Warrant granted by King Charles III, marking 42 years since the company received its first warrant from Queen Elizabeth II in 1982.

In previously announced collections, the company has also followed a line of reinterpreting designs from its archive in contemporary colours. The cushion series developed with Kit Kemp can be seen as a product group that carries this design identity from fabric by the metre into ready-made accessories.
