This needlepoint tango cushion is designed by Neisha Crosland, a textile and surface pattern designer who uses her signature mix of geometrics with florals to give her patterns a feeling of modern yet vintage.

Adorned with swirling, dancing, frilly-edged flowers grouped in twosomes like tango dancers, this gorgeous wool cushion is created by over 130 hours of intricate hand-stitching in shades of hyacinth blue, cream and green.

On her collaboration with Fine Cell Work, Neisha says: "What a joy to be working with Fine Cell Work and the stitchers who have translated my designs with such sensitivity onto beautiful hand-stitched needlepoint cushions".

    A wonderful present

    So glad to receive this fabulous gift to add to the 4 other cushions I have acquired over the years. A beautiful design in vibrant colours. I really appreciate the quality of the needlework and the quality of the materials used. Fine Cell Work is a gem of an enterprise and a wonderful institution which should be better known.

    About the designer

    Neisha Crosland

    A graduate of the Royal School of Art, Neisha Crosland began her career producing designs for Marc Jacobs, Christian Lacroix and Laura Ashley, as well as her own textile label, before moving on to design patterns for fabrics, wallpapers, and soft furnishings.

    Neisha Crosland’s aesthetic manages to embrace a refined sense of purism with a love of decoration. Her designs are elegant and intelligent and have an impeccable sense of balance, proportion and personality. Her guiding principle is that ‘decoration should have an emotional appeal’ and that ‘an idea is only good enough if it has a fresh point of view’.

    Having designed a series of needlepoint cushions for Fine Cell Work, for her latest collaboration she has translated her Caravan motif into a trio of exquisitely hand-embroidered cushions.

    By giving prisoners hope that transformation is truly possible, they can envision a meaningful life after release. But nobody tells the story of how Fine Cell Work has helped them better than the prisoners themselves:

    “Stitching allows me to use a totally different part of my brain and personality. I can move away from the more difficult reflections and anxieties and feel creative and purposeful. This means I no longer feel that my life has come to a halt and that I am of no use to anyone else.”
