Blue print
decorative cushion

The Blueprint Wagner has been dedicated to the special craftsmanship of blue printing since 1878 and has been one of our most loyal customers for many decades.

Together with the blue printing company Wagner, we decided to choose the typical paisley pattern
for our decorative cushions. For fans of blue printing or a cozy, homely atmosphere, these idyllic decorative cushions are definitely a must.

The so-called reserve printing technique creates the white pattern on a blue background that is visible on the cloth. First, our linen is pre-washed and placed on a large work table. The papp (clay, water and gum arabium) is applied using an ink pad, which prevents the blue ink from penetrating where a pattern is to be placed.

The processed fabric is then stretched onto the star hoop (circular iron frame) and dipped several times into the vat (lime, water, vegetable indigo and important secret ingredients). As soon as the vat oxidizes in the air, the blue becomes more and more intense, causing the white, decorative patterns to appear on the fabric.
