Jane's cushions

 Jane Revitt, an artist and designer who regularly comes to Les Bassacs, is producing a range of cushions using vintage Ordnance Survey maps. At Christmas she started selling cushions featuring her local area of Hebden Bridge and now has these for sale at a National Trust property in Dartington.

I am trying to find a beautiful map of the Luberon that Jane could use to make our own Les Bassacs cushions!

Jane is a freelance artist and designer working in the theatre, museums, schools and public spaces.   Her ingenious mix of careful design and playfulness makes her installations a joy to see.  Her work often includes the use of text and the spoken word. Have a look at Jane's work on her website and her talking chairs blog.

  1. Fun idea! I'd love to have one of those LB-map-cushions.
