Forensic Pillows from Lost City

Blood spatter and trace evidence may not seem like a source of design inspiration, but fortunately the folks at Lost City thought otherwise.

I've been a big fan of Lost City fabrics for a while now. Their sophisticated textiles are brilliantly hand-embroidered by skilled Indian craftspeople. Since I'm also a big fan of Dexter, the Showtime series about a serial killer/forensic specialist, it's no surprise that I'm loving these pillows.

That said, I can see how grisly designs based on blood, guts and hair samples might be a disturbing way to accent a sofa.
