Carmel and Terrell Swan

Since 2000, the husband-and-wife duo, Carmel and Terrell Swan of catstudio, have woven together their spirit of wanderlust and mutual appreciation for art, design, and craftsmanship into decorative textileworks inspired by vintage souvenir pillows of the 30s and 40s. Hand embroidered by skilled artisans in a process spanning months, the meticulously crafted pillows in the catstudio Geography Collection capture the whimsical essence of all 50 states across the United States, plus many cities, regions, resorts, and national parks. Pillow

Geography invites readers on a magical ride from the rolling folds of the misty Appalachian Mountains all the way to sunny San Francisco through the Golden Gate Bridge, and everywhere in between. So settle in, get comfortable, and come dream across America . . . one catstudio pillow at a time.

Come for a drink and hear about Carmel and Terrell Swan’s love of art, embroidery and maps as documented in their book Pillow Geography: Dreaming Across America.
