Description
The Atlas cushion is a tufted cotton bolster worked in a bold kilim-inspired pattern. The face is a high-pile tufted design set out as a large central cross of diamonds and chevrons, in cream, black, soft green and ochre. Each of the four corners carries a double-layer tassel in ochre and natural, so the outline is as much a part of the cushion as the pattern itself. It measures 30 by 50cm, a lumbar shape rather than a square, which is why it sits so well behind the lower back or along the length of a bench.
This is a cushion for adding texture and warmth. The long, low shape suits the back of a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed, where a rectangular cushion supports rather than just fills a corner. The pattern draws on flatweave rug motifs, so it settles happily among other pattern and colour rather than needing a plain backdrop. Layer it up with cushions in different weaves and tones to build a relaxed, collected look, and let the tassels break up the straight edges of a bench, window seat or day bed.
It is made from 100% cotton, a natural fibre that is breathable, hard-wearing and pleasant against the skin. The face is raised in high-pile tufting for a soft, plush hand, while the reverse is a plain woven cotton in the same natural tone. A hidden zip along one edge lets you take the cover off the pad, and closes out of sight so nothing interrupts the design. If you like this relaxed, globally inspired feel, it layers naturally with other tufted and tasselled textiles.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
It is made from 100% cotton, a natural fibre that is breathable and hard-wearing, so it stands up well to everyday use on a sofa or bed.
What size is this cushion?
It measures 30 by 50cm, a lumbar or bolster shape that is longer than it is tall, made to sit behind the lower back rather than fill a square.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a hidden zip along one edge, so you can slip the cover off the inner pad and the closure stays out of sight behind the design.
What does the tufted face feel like?
The pattern is raised in high-pile cotton tufting, which gives the front a soft, plush texture, while the plain woven reverse is smooth by contrast.
Where does this cushion work best?
The long, low shape suits a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed, and the busy kilim pattern layers well with other textures and colours.
