Aurelio Chenille Jacquard Polyester Cushion - Emerald

The Aurelio is a square cushion in a deep emerald green, worked in chenille with a woven jacquard pattern that gives the surface its soft, broken texture. Chenille is a pile yarn, so the cloth catches the light differently as you move past it, shifting between darker and lighter greens across the face. The pattern here is abstract rather than figurative, reading as a gentle mottling rather than a defined motif, which is why the cushion works as a plain-ish green from across a room and reveals its texture only up close. It is made from 100% polyester and measures 45cm square.

A 45cm square cushion is the standard size for a sofa or an armchair, large enough to sit against and firm enough to prop yourself up with. The emerald tone is a rich, saturated green that sits well against neutrals, warm woods and darker upholstery, and it pairs comfortably with other jewel greens or with brass and gold accents if you want to build up a layered look. Group two or three along a three-seater, or set one against a paler chair to let the colour do the work. It suits a living room or a bedroom equally, wherever you want depth rather than a bright accent.

The face is finished with an oxford border, the flat flanged edge you can see framing the cushion in the photographs, which gives it a defined, tailored outline rather than a plain knife edge. A zip closure runs along one side so the cover comes off for cleaning. Being polyester, the cover is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, and the chenille pile stays plump with regular plumping. The emerald is one of several tones in the Aurelio range, so you can mix shades across a scheme if you prefer.
