Be still my beating heart.
You know that I adore graffiti, right? And you know that I’m addicted to cushions, right? Well, I never dreamed the two could come together to exist in such perfect harmony, but they have. And it’s all thanks to the very talented Matt Stewart, whose street-inspired aerosol art I’ve featured on the blog before (and display in my own home, might I add).
Matt’s new ‘Art Cushions’ range very much reflects the aesthetic of his successful aerosol art series, which is going gangbusters since it appeared in The Block Shop (I was totally across his work before it went mainstream!). The motifs you see on the cushions are digitally printed onto high-grade Belgian linen, so there’s a quality story to be told here too. They’re 50cm x 50cm in size and feature premium duck feather down inserts – with eight individual styles to choose from (my faves are the Indian headdress and flamingo motifs).
“In a market that is currently saturated with cushions, I still managed to find a want for something a little different,” Matt tells me. “A homewares product that will either match their Matt Stewart canvas artwork, or become a burst of colour as a statement piece with a strong talking point”.
What I love about these cushions is that they create such an interesting juxtaposition. The grittiness of urban street art merging with premium fabrics and fillings makes this a really interesting visual story, don’t you think?
Matt has gone to great lengths to produce these divine cushions and has considered far more than just how the cushion itself looks and feels.
“I want everything about this product to be an experience. The branding and packaging have been created to make receiving one of these cushions an event! The actual cushion is merely the brilliant end result of that experience”.
>>> Matt’s cushions are $250 each, but you can get your hands one some via the competition below 😉

I love the Orange Indian one and the skull one.
Oh my goodness!! The Indian headress would go perfectly in my lounge room!! And I think my girls would cry if I didn’t add the flamingo one as well. So gorgeous, I’m in love.
These are sooo great!! My favourite are the indian head dress ones!!
🙂
Oh Chris – you are such a shocking enabler – I think if my other half knew how much you encourage my terrible cushion addiction he would find a way to block your site!!
Matt’s work is stunning – I just adore the single orange feather Indian headdress – just so fabulous!
these cushions are seriously divine – my favourites are the pink flamingo and the blue galaxy like looking one – love these ones for both the colours and the designs – they would really stand out and be a talking piece in any room – great cushions.
Immediately the pink Indian headdress print caught my eye. I’m loving the contrast between the pink and black, it’s definitely a statement piece. One day i’d love to have a Matt Stewart original canvas hanging on my lounge wall.
So EXCITED to enter this competition! Matt Stewart art and cushions, what more needs to be said :-). My two favourites would have to be the Orange Headpiece and the Stencil Art (reliving my childhood with Mr Lego)! Fingers and toes crossed. Good luck everyone!
I’ve been following Matt’s work for some time now (on insta), and would love to own a piece of his artwork. I’d certainly be happy to own a cushion in the meantime 🙂
I Love the Indian headdress either or both colours are so striking! She is so beautiful!
I’m in love with all of them and I’ve been stalking the Instagram page since the first mention of cushions 6 weeks ago!
The two stand outs for me are Pink Headpiece and Orange Headpiece. And Headpiece Pattern is a very close third 🙂
Matt’s work is incredible. Oqning onenif his prints is on my Bucket List.
Oh Chris, always with your finger on the pulse! I have to go for the crowd pleaser Indian headdress set. They’re vibrant, surprisingly unisex and with the cooler weather coming, they’ll be like Berocca for my interior! x
