The realism of illustration in the world Klaus Haapaniemi creates with his designs is nothing short of breathtaking. Artemisia Absinthium is the scientific name of Common Wormwood, but this depiction makes the plant seem far from common. The focus bloom is highlighted in high definition and brilliantly shades with hues of gold and orange. It's contrasted by intricate linework in jewel tones of blue, emerald, and red and balanced by earthy tones of brown and moss. The design feels both vintage and avant-garde, and is bordered by a thick navy blue piping. The same artwork is printed on the opposite side of this luxurious velvet cushion cover. A hidden zipper keeps it looking clean and streamlined but allows easy removal from an insert.
*Please note: The Artemisia Absinthium Velvet throw pillow is made using a repeat pattern of fabric, therefore each cushion may have a slightly different print placement and vary from the original image.
Optional insert is polyester-filled and hypoallergenic.
If ordering with insert, item cannot be gift wrapped.

This is a striking pillow cover! The colors aren't as light and bright as the photo shows , but it is still beautiful! It feels very soft. I love the extra touch of the velvet piping along the edges.

Plush fantasy

I love the colors. Soft and dreamlike but bold and rich at the same time. I thought this would be too garish for the rattan sofa I bought for my new sunroom so I tried one at first. Loved it! Joyfully, I was surprised that the pillow went with the Tibetan rug I had already. I bought two more pillows and realized I need another. Will I want the roll pillow too??
Pros
Plush, soft, colors go with many things.
Cons
Invisible zipper so well made it is difficult to find! Be patient and hold the pillow between your knees to maneuver the zipper closed.

I love Klaus Haapaniemi pillows! I bought this velvet one for my winter decor. The print and colors are beautiful, and the velvet is so soft. Very pleased. The colors are slightly more muted than in the photo, and be aware it is quite large.
