Textiles are an essential element in home design, adding warmth and texture to our day-to-day lives. A few touches of beautifully crafted fabric can transform a space to make it more comfortable and inviting.
The signature Unison Throw Pillow Collection is a perfect example of the way in which textiles can make a major impact — even in small doses. First introduced in 2010, the textile patterns in this collection are undeniably timeless thanks to understated details and neutral tones. At the same time, the simple, precise lines in each design add a modern touch that’s right in line with today’s minimalist trends.
A perennial favorite at Unison, these signature Throw Pillows have just been re-released for 2022. These distinctive fabrics make it easy to update your space with touches of high-quality, carefully crafted textiles.
Three Remarkable Patterns
The Unison Throw Pillow Collection is available in three patterns, all of which are exclusive to Unison. First up, there’s Stitch, an all-over print that quickly became a Unison fan favorite after its initial debut in 2010. First featured on pillow covers, this pattern became part of a bedding collection in 2013 and a bath collection in 2017. It was also featured on the soft Stitch Rug in 2018. The graphic design features a dotted dash presented at an angle, created the appearance of hand-sewn stitches. Thanks to the diagonal positioning, the dashes take on a feeling of dynamic movement without looking busy or distracting. Each dash was drawn by hand, so there are slight variations that make the pattern look soft and natural rather than regimented. The classic neutral color scheme works in just about any space.
The next pattern is Sailor, which features thin, dark stripes on a white background for a nautical-inspired appearance. The high-contrast design creates a fresh and tailored look that instantly spruces up any chair or sofa. The Sailor pattern has a classic feel that works well with both traditional and modern aesthetics, and the stripes can be aligned vertically or horizontally to draw the eye up or out. In addition to throw pillows, the Sailor print has been featured on Unison bedding and even Unison digitally printed wallpaper.
Lastly, the Tiles pattern effortlessly blends timeless and contemporary styles with a structured and calming geometric print. Arranged in a grid style, the repeating squares reflect classic checked patterns, but with a modern twist. The neutral Black and White tones seamlessly coordinate with any other colors in your space while still serving as a sophisticated statement piece.
The three patterns in the Unison Throw Pillow collection have complementary tones and designs, allowing for mixing and matching within one space or even on a single piece of furniture. Due to the timeless nature of the patterns, the pillows can be moved from room to room and persist as staple accents when upgrading furniture, paint colors and other elements of your home over the years.
Made by a Trusted Unison Partner
A great level of care and craftsmanship goes into transforming each of these three signature prints into throw pillows. The bulk of this effort takes place at Griswold Textile Print Company, a longtime manufacturer for Unison and a family-owned and operated business since 1937.
The partnership with Griswold extends all the way back to the very beginning of Unison in 2006. This manufacturer was selected not only for the high quality of the work they produce, but also due to the hands-on, artisan nature of their craft. Griswold Textile Print Company is one of the few hand-print mills left in the United States. Their hand-screening process is rare in today’s world, where textile manufacturing has become highly automated and mechanized.
Located on the Pawcatuck River in the White Rock section of Westerly, Rhode Island, the Griswold textile mill uses a traditional hand-printing process that begins with large-scale fine mesh screens prepared with Unison’s signature patterns. Large buckets of ink are poured on one end of the screen, with 100% cotton sailcloth fabric placed underneath. A large squeegee is used to pull the ink across the screen and produce the pattern.
Once inked and dried, large rolls of fabric are shipped to the Unison headquarters in Chicago, where each one is carefully inspected. A local sewing company then converts the patterned fabric into individual throw pillow covers.
Durable and designed to invigorate your space with crisp, classic prints, Unison Throw Pillow Covers are an ideal accessory for any space. Choose one of the three exclusive patterns or mix and match multiple prints to add comfortable cushioning and a modern touch accent to sofas, chairs, beds and more.
