Description
The Akamba Animal cushion carries a hand-painted, printed design of two parrots facing one another in mirror symmetry, framed by jungle florals, paisley motifs and a bordered edge. The design is inspired by German Fraktur folk art, and the print sits on a plain, natural-toned ground so the birds and their coral, green and amber plumage read clearly. The face is made from 100% polyester woven with a linen-look texture, and the square measures 43 x 43cm.
A single square cushion at this size works on a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed, and it is happy either as the one thing your eye lands on or as part of a gathered group. The palette is warm and mixed rather than tied to one accent colour, which means it settles among reds, greens, ochres and natural linen shades without asking the rest of the room to match it. In the fifth photograph it sits beside a blue-and-red sibling from the same design family, and the two read as a pair without being identical.
The reverse is a plain, natural linen-look weave, so the cushion can be turned over for a quieter look when you want the pattern to rest. It is finished with a knife-edge trim and a hidden zip, so the cover comes off for cleaning and the closure stays out of sight. Being polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing and holds its printed colour well, which suits a cushion that gets leaned on and moved about daily. The design is printed and made in the UK.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester woven with a linen-look texture, which gives it a soft handle while staying hard-wearing enough for everyday use on a sofa or bed.
How big is the cushion?
It is a square measuring 43 x 43cm, a standard scatter size that suits a sofa, an armchair or the front of a made bed.
Does the cover come off?
Yes. There is a hidden zip along one edge, so the cover slides off the pad and the fastening stays out of sight when the cushion is in use.
Is the back patterned too?
No, the reverse is a plain natural linen-look weave, so you can turn the cushion over for a quieter look when you want the parrot print to rest.
What colours are in the design?
The parrots and florals mix coral and red plumage with greens, ochres and dark accents, all set on a natural linen-toned ground, so it works with warm, mixed schemes.
Can I buy a matching cushion?
The photographs show a companion cushion in a blue-and-red colourway from the same design family, so the two can be styled together as a pair.
