Jillian’s pillows have a
modern aesthetic and are
consciously crafted using
natural materials in her
Richmond, VA studio. Her
interior design background
shines through her work
by elevating color, form,
pattern and texture. It’s
pillow architecture.
Her inspiration is drawn
from nature, fashion and a
nod to mid century modern.
Cinne’s creative process is
driven by her love of color.
As a multi-disciplinary artist,
C. Banning Accessories is
a natural compliment to her
graphic design business
which is based out of
San Francisco.
Cinne’s artist expression
is fueled by the stimulus
of living in the city
and by her passion for
living a creative life.
