Description
The Aurelio is a square chenille cushion in a soft ivory cream, woven with an abstract jacquard pattern that catches the light differently as you move past it. Chenille is a pile yarn, so the surface has a short, dense nap rather than a flat weave, and the jacquard means the pattern is built into the cloth on the loom rather than printed on top. The photographs show a pale, warm ground with lighter markings that read as gentle vertical striations, and a flat oxford border framing the pad on all four sides.
A cushion this quiet earns its place in a living room where you want texture without a loud colour. The ivory tone sits happily against darker sofas and mid-toned wood, and works as a layering piece among cushions in stronger colours or as a matched pair at either end of a settee. Because the interest here is in the surface rather than a printed motif, it reads as calm at a distance and detailed up close, which suits a bedroom too, propped against pillows or laid across the foot of a bed.
The face is 100% polyester chenille, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its shape and resists everyday knocks better than many natural pile fabrics. The pad is contained by a zip along one edge, so the cover can be taken off when you need to, and the oxford border gives the front a defined flat frame around the woven centre. As a plain-textured piece it will not fight with a patterned throw or a boldly printed cushion, so treat it as the steady note in a mix rather than the headline.

Frequently Asked
What is chenille and how does it feel?
Chenille is a pile yarn woven so the surface has a short, dense, slightly velvety nap, which gives this cushion its soft handle and the way its pattern shifts in the light.
Is the pattern printed or woven?
It is a jacquard, meaning the abstract pattern is woven into the cloth on the loom rather than printed on the surface, so it will not fade or peel with normal use.
Can I take the cover off?
Yes, there is a zip along one edge of the cover, so you can remove it from the pad whenever you need to.
What size is the cushion?
It is a square cushion measuring 45 by 45 centimetres, a standard size that pairs easily with most sofa and bed cushions.
What is the oxford border?
The oxford border is a flat, defined frame of fabric running around all four sides of the front, giving the woven centre a tidy edge rather than a plain seam.
