Artista Cotton Throw - Multi

Our Artista throw is a printed cotton blend covered in large, loose abstract shapes in a multicoloured palette, finished with a thick fringe of knotted tassels. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a size that covers a lap and legs on the sofa or lies neatly across the foot of a bed. The fabric is 52% cotton, 24% polyester, 11% viscose and 13% other fibre, and the throw weighs 1.1KG. Cotton brings softness and breathes easily, while polyester in a blend helps the cloth hold its shape.

This is a throw for the sitting room first: fold it over the arm of a sofa, drape it across an armchair, or keep it within easy reach for cooler evenings with a book. In a bedroom it adds a bright band of pattern across a plain duvet, and in a reading corner it gives a simple chair some character. The printed design sits happily beside other patterned cushions and rugs, because the shapes are large and loose rather than busy, and the reverse carries a simpler striped pattern for days when you want a quieter look.

The pattern is printed, and care is straightforward: the throw goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a medium iron when folds need smoothing. That makes it practical for a family sofa that sees daily use. Viscose gives a blend a soft, easy drape, which is why the throw falls into relaxed folds over a sofa arm. For styling, let it hang loose and unfolded from one corner of the sofa back so the fringe shows, and pick out a single shade from the print in a cushion nearby to tie the room together.
