Cool Idea: Funky Embroidery on Furniture

I saw this post on Design Sponge and fell in love with the idea of funky, modern embroidery on traditional upholstered furniture. The designs pictured are the work of Swedish designer, Petra Borner, who designs for both fashion and home.

Brocade Home

Restoration Hardware has partnered with Lisa Versacio, formerly of West Elm, to found Brocade Home. There isn't much to their Web site right now, but you can order a catalog and see an intro slide show of some of their designs. The company describes its wares as "softness meets strength" and "prettiness with depth." You can also read more in this post on Apartment Therapy. Not sure what the pricing will be like, but I'm awaiting my catalog with bated breath.
