The Beauty of Hand Block Printed Cushions: Artistry for the Home
June 27, 2025 – Vivienne Gray

At Humble Living, we believe the objects we live with should reflect more than just style—they should tell a story, honour craftsmanship, and bring a deeper sense of meaning to the spaces we call home.
That’s why our artisan block printed cushions are made through a process as beautiful as the final result. These are not ordinary cushions. They are the result of an international collaboration between artist and artisan, between the creative spirit and centuries-old tradition.
Each design begins in Australia, in the hands of artist Vivienne Gray, who paints intricate, intuitive motifs inspired by nature, texture, and form. Her designs are not digital or generic—they are hand-painted, imbued with soul and originality.
Once complete, these illustrations travel to Jaipur, India, where they are translated into physical form through the ancient art of block printing. Highly skilled artisans carve Vivienne’s artwork into wooden blocks by hand—a meticulous process requiring precision, care, and deep expertise.
From there, the blocks are used to hand stamp each cushion cover onto 100% organic linen, a sustainable and breathable natural fabric that ages beautifully over time. Each print is slightly unique—a reminder of the hand behind the work and the authenticity of true craft.
This slow, hands-on method creates homewares with real presence—cushions that not only elevate your space but spark conversation and admiration. They are for the woman who understands design, who loves interiors that are refined yet rich with character, and who wants something her friends haven’t seen before.
Our hand block printed cushions are produced in limited quantities, keeping them exclusive and special. You’re not just buying a cushion—you’re investing in artisan skill, sustainable practices, and the quiet luxury of handmade design.
Whether styled on a sofa, bed, or reading nook, our cushions add a sophisticated, earthy warmth to your home. They pair beautifully with neutral palettes, timber textures, and layered linens, fitting seamlessly into both contemporary and classic interiors.
At Humble Living, we’re proud to create homewares that are ethically made, artist-designed, and always original.
