Price History
Description
The Vina Cushion from A World of Craft brings colour and craftsmanship to contemporary interiors. Handwoven from durable 100% Fair Trade cotton, its striped design is the result of a collaboration between Mayan artisans in Guatemala and designers at A World of Craft Studio in Stockholm, celebrating traditional weaving while supporting indigenous communities. The same pattern appears on both sides, finished with a concealed edge zipper for a neat look. 100% Fair Trade and hand-woven. Designed in Sweden, crafted by Mayan artisans.
Our Stylist Says
I love the A World Of Craft Vina cushion for its vibrant, playful stripes that instantly add personality to any sofa or armchair. Its colourful design works particularly well in contemporary or eclectic interiors, where it can serve as a statement piece or a pop of colour. For styling tips, consider pairing it with neutral tones to let the pattern stand out or mixing it with other textured cushions for a layered, inviting look. Its sizeable size makes it ideal for adding comfort and visual impact, and it’s versatile enough to work across different decorating schemes, from relaxed casual spaces to more polished modern interiors.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
