Pandanus
More information about collapse
Pandanus (dry)
Pandanus grow across much of the Top End of Northern Territory, wherever there is sufficient water from creeks or monsoonal rainfall. They produce tough orange fruit with a hard seed. Both fruit and seed are edible, if you are tenacious and patient. Only a few native critters have what it takes to eat them. So, while they do not feed many, they provide a home many for tree snakes, small lizards, frogs and finches.
Pandanus have green spiky leaves that dry out as they are replaced by fresh growth. These leaves stay attached to the trunk long after they have died, giving the pandanus a skirt effect – and creating an impressive fireball effect when they catch fire. This colourway is inspired by the colours of the dry season grasses in the Top End.

About our cushion covers
- Our cushion fabrics are designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River and printed in Australia. Boo uses a variety of techniques to design the fabrics including painting, drawing, lino prints and digital photography and drawing.
- Boo makes all the cushions in her studio and is registered with the Australian Made campaign.
- Cushions listed on this page are made from polyester upholstery fabric, making them super durable in most environments and very easy to wash.
- They come in a range of great designs with vibrant colours to match any decor.
- All cushions are double-sided. Some cushions have a variation of print (usually scale) on the other side - unless two different images are shown in the display above, both sides of the cushion will be identical.

Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our cushion covers is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
