interior design, pattern and

nature into her product line.

The modern architecture

of Dallas reflects Amber’s

where geometrics and

color inspire her designs.

Jillian’s pillows have a

modern aesthetic and are

consciously crafted using

natural materials in her

Richmond, VA studio. Her

interior design background

shines through her work

by elevating color, form,

pattern and texture. It’s

pillow architecture.

Her inspiration is drawn

from nature, fashion and a

nod to mid century modern.

Cinne’s creative process is

driven by her love of color.

As a multi-disciplinary artist,

C. Banning Accessories is

a natural compliment to her

graphic design business

which is based out of

San Francisco.

Cinne’s artist expression

is fueled by the stimulus

of living in the city

and by her passion for

living a creative life.
