Adya Cushion - Multi

This rectangular cushion carries a dense, multicoloured pattern of flowers, birds and animals, laid out in mirror image either side of a tall central tree: a pair of peacocks with long trailing tails, a pair of deer and a ground scattered with blooms. It measures 50cm long and 35cm wide, an oblong size that suits the small of the back better than a large square would. The cover is a woven fabric of 54% viscose and 46% cotton, printed with the design, and the cushion comes filled with 100% polyester, weighing 0.56KG altogether. A tassel finishes each of its four corners.

Because the pattern is so busy, this cushion does its best work against plain upholstery: a linen sofa, a cane or rattan armchair, a neutral headboard. Its oblong shape makes it a natural lumbar cushion for a reading chair. On a bed it sits in front of a row of pillows and adds a band of pattern without crowding them. The detail rewards a close look, with small flowers and leaves filling every gap, so it suits a living room, a bedroom or a window seat where people sit near it. The reverse is plain, so you can turn it over on days when you want a quieter look.

The design is printed on to a woven fabric rather than stitched, so the pattern lies smooth under the hand. Viscose gives a fabric a soft handle and a gentle sheen, while cotton adds body. The maker's care instructions are straightforward: it can be machine washed at 40 degrees, tumble dried on a low setting and ironed at a medium heat. For styling, pair it with plain cushions in a single shade taken from the print, so the pattern stays the focus of the chair or sofa.
