Brighton Beach is an oceanside neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. It is known for its high population of Russian speaking immigrants and as a summer destination for New York City residents. Brighton Beach was dubbed “Little Odessa” by the local populace due to many of its residents having come from Odessa, a city in Ukraine.
The founder of Cake lived in Brooklyn for a while, and visited Brighton Beach often to escape the hectic city life. Inspired by this experience, Cake created this collection of cushions called Boardwalk. The orange threads symbolize the B train, a subway train which runs to Brighton Beach and is shown in bright orange on the subway map.
