When I think about the show Couches, I think of comfort. The soft, worn-in couches of various hues and patterns, the pit of pillows stage front, the intention put into the cocktails, the spicy and fragrant incense and oils being burned, Couches feels like home.
Inspired by the show's ethos and the nostalgia of the plush, vintage sofas that beckon its patrons to sink in, I crafted a vintage couch pattern. The bird of paradise was a flower cherished by my grandmother and is also frequently used in New Orleans' landscaping, New Orleans being the birthplace of Couches. For me, it carries the essence of familial warmth and cultural roots. The anthurium flower is a universal symbol of hospitality which mirrors the values upheld by Couches in curating a space that goes beyond entertainment— it invites attendees to a sanctuary of comfort and fellowship.
