If we could understand the squeaks and clicks of whale language, ‘Love us don’t hunt us’ would surely be the primitive sentiment. When Gorgi director Kirstin Bailey asked New Zealand Artist Penny Stotter to create a visual manifestation of this mantra, the idea was to produce a subtle take on an ecological theme – a cheeky kind of bedroom or lounge room activism.
In teaming up with Project Jonah, the range effectively puts its money where its mouth – or baleen filter – is, with $2 from each cushion sold going to help protect the very animals which inspired the idea.
Robust, stylish and designed in neutral colours, the Love Us Don’t Hunt Us range is equally at home in both modern and traditional interiors.
Each whale cushion measures 56cm in length, with white print as shown.
