Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
Original — Jules Pansu
Saint Sebastian Pillow
About the original
Jules Pansu has been weaving jacquard textiles in Paris since 1878, producing tapestry cushions on French mills that still work to turn-of-the-century patterns and supplying replicas of museum textiles to institutions like the Louvre. The house specializes in cotton-wool blend jacquards woven on mechanical looms in Roubaix, in the historic French textile region near the Belgian border. The Supreme version is an 18-inch woven tapestry pillow with a cotton blend insert, using exclusive Saint Sebastian artwork by Japanese artist Miho Kuroyanagi rather than one of Jules Pansu's standard patterns. The artwork and pillow were produced only for this collaboration, so the closest direct equivalent is Jules Pansu's own catalog of jacquard cushions in the same construction.
About Jules Pansu
Jules Pansu is a French textile manufacturer founded in 1878 by Jules Pansu in Paris after his military service. In 1911 he built the company's headquarters at the corner of rue du Faubourg Poissonniere and rue des Petites Ecuries, and in 1926 acquired the Tissages de la Lys factory in Halluin, in the Flanders region that has been the cradle of European tapestry for six hundred years. The firm holds the French government's Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label and has been run by the same family for five generations, producing jacquard tapestries, cushions, and throws woven on traditional looms. Supreme collaborated with Jules Pansu on woven tapestry cushions.
