John Derian for Target FAQs

John Derian is an American decoupage artist and designer living in New York City whose aesthetic encapsulates a curious mix of natural oddities, antiques and eccentricities.

In 1989, he established The John Derian Company, Inc and pioneered the trend of decoupage—the art of layering images over a decorative background—to create beautiful works of art. His decoupage is handmade in his studio in New York City, where he employs a small staff of artisans to assist with production.

John Derian has been part of the Target family for over a decade, having first collaborated with Target in 2008 on a line of stationery and home décor items.

John had the following to say:

“The Squirrel Pillow is beautiful and charming with a beaded radish to boot. The size and shape are just beautiful, fun to carry and prop on furniture. This squirrel is definitely allowed in my house!

The Blue Mushroom Lamp and Amber Mushroom Lamp put the fun in function! I can’t believe the quality or the price.

The Dove Pillow may be subtle with its white-on-white feathering, but it really stood out like a shining star everywhere we perched it in our house.”
