Introducing: Our Limited-Edition Natalie Gerber x BSM Throw Pillow Collection

On the evening of Nov. 6, we hosted the Black Sheep community in our Showroom for a fireside chat with local textile artist, Natalie Gerber, and Black Sheep founder, Christian, for a discussion on what it means to preserve a traditional craft, how people can support local artisans, and the importance of choosing handmade over mass produced products. 

Natalie specializes in creating custom printed bedding sets and hosting this event in our showroom allowed attendees to explore her range of beautiful, handcrafted fabrics dressed on our all-natural mattresses - showcasing true partnership at work.

As part of our longstanding relationship together, we're excited to launch an exclusive collection of throw pillows made from natural materials in limited-time prints. Each pillow is truly one-of-a-kind, with inserts handcrafted by Black Sheep from our natural latex and wool, and encased in handprinted, hand-dyed covers created by Natalie.

Visit our showroom to take a moment to appreciate the artistry or to inquire about making a purchase.
