Coupe boys and girls
Regular readers may well remember Barbara Coupe from her Sorry Not in Service cushion cushions, using the typography of old bus blinds. These new Girls Only and Boys Only cushions draw the signage of a traditional school. 

They use the lettering of an old school building, taken from back in the days when boys and girls had to use different entrances to the building. Adapted for the twenty-first century using a linen/cotton mix, they could prove very useful in marking out favourite areas of your house!

Each cushion costs £45.
