Eiffel tower cushion
French company Iosis made this striking woven tapestry cushion, combining images from both Parish and Japan.
Set on a rose pink background, the Eiffel Tower takes centre stage with colourful silhouettes of a Japanese geisha and blossom carefully arranged throughout the piece. The colour brightens up the room, while the detail provides a talking point.
It can be bought from The Conran Shop for £69.
