Tropical Outdoor Cushions - Set of 2 - 100cm

Transform your indoor spaces with this dynamic set of two tropical outdoor cushions, adorned with detailed photographic images of Charlie Wicking's captivating paintings. Inspired by the natural splendour of coral trout, hibiscus flowers, reef fish, birds, and intricate shells, these cushions bring a burst of colour and tropical charm to any setting. Crafted from a premium polyester fabric, they offer water-repellent and fade-resistant properties, ensuring longevity in outdoor environments. Each cushion measures a generous 100cm by 100cm and comes with a removable cover, making maintenance effortless and practical for busy classrooms or creative learning centres. Charlie Wicking, whose artistic journey began in 1999, draws daily inspiration from the natural world and local seascapes. Her vibrant style is a celebration of Queensland's rich natural heritage, and she honours the Traditional Custodians of the land - the Yuibera, Barada Barna, and Widi Tribes - through her work. These cushions are designed to provide comfortable seating for play spaces, reading areas, and even school libraries, fostering a creative and engaging learning environment.
