I love the way Lauren Saunders creates pillows combining fibers of differing textures, like cotton, alpaca, and mohair. The outcome is quite sophisticated and elegant, without any pretension. The pillows are quite casual and comfortable, a very laid-back California feel to them, both in color and the design (the above pillows are from her Canyon Collection). Best of all, she is a skilled crafter and hand-looms each of these pillows in her Ventura County studio. See an image of Lauren in her studio here.
wow...these are beautiful! love the varied textures...
