Patio Essentials for Spring from The Frida Kahlo Collection

We are very excited to share that our new collection is in stock. It is ready to ship to your front porch: Introducing the Frida Kahlo collection! We thought it would be fun to give you a sneak peek of our best outdoor living category yet. You will love the Frida Kahlo collection as much as we do. From comfy seats to many prints, it has something for everyone.

Giving the People what They Want

The last few years have seen a huge uptick in Frida Kahlo’s popularity. In 2020, she was the second most searched artist on Google. In 2021, her painting “Diego and I” sold for nearly $35 million at Sotheby’s. This made her the first Latin American and only the second woman to sell a piece for that much.

Frida Kahlo lived boldly and courageously. This made her a cultural icon and inspired this collection. Her story is all about determination, passion, and resilience. Frida Kahlo was a fearless woman who wasn’t afraid to make art on her own terms.

When she wasn’t painting, you could find her at home bonding with her animal companions. She had dogs, monkeys, turkeys, a parrot, and even a fawn! 

Frida’s unique style has been very important in history and popular culture, along with her art. Her signature hairstyle is iconic, and her love of flowers was a major influence in this collection.

Her impact on the world deserves to be celebrated with beautiful colors and eye-catching patterns. Let’s look at a few of our favorites!

Flores Eternas

To honor Frida Kahlo in this collection, all the pattern names are in Spanish, Frida’s first language. Flores Eternas means Eternal Flowers, which is how the world thinks of Frida Kahlo herself: iconic, eternal, timeless. Throughout the decades, she has remained a prominent figure in art and pop culture. The elegant contrast of this black and white print helps highlight that message. These classic cushions (pictured above) are always in style, just like Frida.

Amapolas

Another one of our favorite prints is Amapolas Brillantes or Bright Poppies. This pattern is inspired by a painting she gave to her aunt. It shows Frida’s love of color and her bright personality. You can find this print on both our accent pillows and chair cushions. All of our cushions and pillows are filled with soft poly fiber. They are great for relaxing inside or outside. You will love how versatile this collection is –you can brighten up your porch or your breakfast nook.

Animalitos

Frida Kahlo embodied strength and resilience, and she also had a gentle and compassionate nature. She sought refuge and love in her “animalitos” (also known as her animal companions). To Frida, her companions were not pets, they were true friends and kindred spirits.

Fun fact: we sent a survey to customers asking them to pick their favorite color, and this bright blue style was the clear winner! Behold our Animalitos Azules chair cushion, pictured above. These chair cushions have click-close buckles and adjustable straps. They look good by themselves or with other prints. You can pair them with the Bonito Verde Accent Pillows. They measure 21 inches wide and 22.5 inches high. These chair cushions fit most patio chairs easily.

Bonito the Parrot

And of course, Frida’s loyal pet parrot Bonito had to be the star of the show. Inspired by her self-portrait, “Autorretrato con Bonito,” the Bonito print is featured throughout the entire collection.

Here’s Bonito hanging out in one of our most popular products—this cozy, quilted hammock chair (pictured above). Our high-quality fabrics can withstand the rain, sun, and wind, keeping this vibrant print gorgeous season after season. The reversible style of this hammock lets you display this pretty pattern exactly the way you want it.
