Social-Media Inspired Decor

By Guy LIttle

Social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Gmail are a great help in the promotion of new design fabrications and ideas.  Using the former as inspiration for the latter; amounts to another level of thought and design.  Social-media inspired decor, like these cushions designed by Craftsquatch (below) are an example of a trend that links ideas of techno-communication with that of decor. Craftsquatch cushions, available from www.etsy.com/shop/Craftsquatch are a great way of adding humour, depth and conversation into an interior – whether it’s in your office or home.   Quite similar to the principals surrounding Pop Art movements of the 50’s and 60’s, Craftsquatch cushions take the  iconic symbols of social media networks – which most of use on an everyday basis - and transform them into engaging, functional decor pieces like cushions.  The only thing you can’t do is double-click on them!
