When I found my pink back, I leaned into my feminine energy, exploring power through form. I thought of iconic women in wide brimmed
hats—quiet yet commanding. Princess Diana, peeking from beneath her brim, creating a frenzy with a glance.

This pillow doesn't just sit pretty. It commands.

This work became an experiment in merging millinery with function and comfort: soft curves wired with intention, allowing the brim to
be bent and reshaped. A thought battle on how much function is actually necessary—and how much can simply exist as power in form.

_________________________________________________________

This collection challenges the notion of soft furnishings as passive décor. Each piece is a study in presence—bold as fashion, timeless
as sculpture, unapologetically itself. These are throw pillows reimagined as functional art. They are not meant to fade quietly into a
sofa; they demand attention, spark conversation, and shift the energy of a room.

They are more than objects of comfort. They are statements. They exist at the intersection of heritage and modernity, softness and
power.

Over time, I explored the possibilities of shaping the most basic form. What is the balance between form and function? Does the balance even need to exist?

What an incredible eight years it has been. It took me a couple of days, several days of recording, to get the words out and explain the end of this chapter. What started as a naive attempt to make a wild dream come true, has been a true journey of incredible proportions. None of this could have been possible without the support and encouragement from this incredible community.

When I started this journey, I knew no one. I saw that relationships and friendships, and I have built a beautiful community of kind-hearted, loving, encouraging and supportive people. From followers to customers to mentors to people saying my name in rooms where I am not present. Going through images and videos from the years has brought me so much joy and gratitude.

I don't know what the future holds but it sure seems like it's going to be awesome. Thank you for always being here! For supporting my work, my creativity. Encouraging me when times got tough. Words truly cannot fully describe my gratitude I have for each one of you here. This has truly been the best experience of my life ❤️ by @houseofamu

Hot coffee. Cold mornings. Cozy wool. That’s the holy trinity of fall 🍂 🍁 🍂✨

While you can’t buy happiness, but you can buy good coffee and a House of Amu wool pillow — and that’s basically the same thing.
