(San Francisco, Calif.) — According to the U.S. Forest Service, 70 million Americans go out at least once a year to watch birds. Now, the popular hobby of bird watching is making its way into the home décor industry, with bird designs being one of this year’s hottest trends.
Recognizing the growing demand for bird-themed home décor and accessories, Peking Handicraft, an international manufacturer and wholesaler of home textiles, decorative accessories and giftware, has introduced a collection of needlepoint pillows featuring a variety of bird designs in Songbirds, Finches and Parrots. Known for its high quality products, the firm’s newest bird-themed designs feature artistic renderings of birds in natural habitats or set against a decorative pattern background.
Each 100% wool needlepoint design is crafted with intricate color and shading to create a realistic depiction of the birds. The pillows are finished with decorative fringe or cord, which accents the design and provides distinctive flair that will blend with any home decor.
Peking’s Songbird Needlepoint Pillows highlight the artwork of Chad Barrett, a southern artist defined by elegance and period style. Almost half the 10,000 bird species on Earth are songbirds, a bird that produces various sound notesi. The decorative Songbird accent throw pillows are available in Gilded Orange, Blue, Green and Yellow. Each pillow measures 14″ square and retails for $50.
The company’s Bird Needlepoint Pillows were designed by D.L. Rhein, one of America’s most adored artists, and feature a colorful finch-design center motif set against a yellow on white floral design. The finch, one of the largest families of birds, lives in most parts of the world except Australia and is characterized by its unique color variations and conical bill. Peking Handicraft’s 16″ square Bird Needlepoint Pillows are available in gold and blue finch designs and retail for $90 each.
Peking’s gorgeous Parrots Needlepoint Pillows showcase tropical birds in all the vivid colors seen in the tropics. Parrots are found in most warm and tropical regions of the temperate Southern Hemisphere with the greatest diversity found in South America and Australasia. The defining characteristics of parrots include a strong curved bill, an upright stance, clawed feet and predominantly green shades mixed with various bright colors. Designed by the firm’s talented team of in-house designers, the Parrots I and Parrots II Needlepoint Pillows measure 14×16″ and retail for $68 each.
