Quaaludes Beaded Pillow

Vicarious Hedonism.

JA himself is a teetotaler who gets his vicarious thrills through art, and our hand-beaded artwork is especially delirium-inducing. Inspired by counterculture designs from the 60s-trippy, colorful doses laced with sparkly gold.

We collaborated with an artisanal workshop in India where a master beader imbued our clean graphic designs with craftsmanship and soul. Each artwork is hand-beaded on linen ground. Beads of varying heights and patterns within patterns create a sense of depth and dimension. The result is part pop art, part textile triumph.
