Femme assise à la robe bleue II | Picasso Collection Cushion Cover

Inspired by Pablo Picasso’s Femme assise à la robe bleue II (Seated Woman in a Blue Dress II), this woven cushion cover transforms a celebrated post-war portrait into a sophisticated decorative piece for the home. Whether styled on a sofa, armchair, or bed, it brings artistic character, rich colour, and modernist elegance to any interior.

Created in 1949, the original painting portrays Françoise Gilot, Picasso’s muse and partner during one of the most significant periods of his later career. As Picasso moved beyond the strict fragmentation of Cubism, his work embraced more expressive forms, bold contours, and simplified compositions. In Femme assise à la robe bleue II, Gilot is depicted in a stylised seated pose, with deep blue tones and strong graphic elements creating a portrait that is both intimate and emotionally powerful.

Expertly crafted using traditional jacquard weaving techniques, each thread is individually controlled to recreate the depth, texture, and visual complexity of the original artwork. This meticulous process faithfully translates Picasso’s expressive lines and striking colour blocks into a richly textured textile, preserving the atmosphere and character of the painting.

Woven in France by skilled artisans and produced with the approval of the Picasso Estate, this cushion cover combines artistic heritage with exceptional craftsmanship. The result is a distinctive decorative accent that celebrates Picasso’s innovative vision while bringing timeless sophistication and gallery-inspired style to contemporary living spaces.
