Description
The Blocks cushion is made from cotton velvet and carries a foil-printed abstract design across its face. The pattern reads as soft vertical blocks of colour, cream and stone and warm sandy tones, broken up by metallic shimmer that catches the light as you move past it. It measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square that most cushion inners are cut to, so replacements and layering are straightforward. The reverse is a plain cotton slub, which gives you a quieter side to turn outward when you want the print to rest.
This is a piece for a living space rather than a working surface. It sits well on a sofa or an armchair, and it earns its place against deeper upholstery, where the pale ground and the foil lift against a darker colour. The neutral palette means it does not fight with much, so it works whether your room leans warm or cool. Because one side is patterned and one side plain, a pair reads differently depending on which face you show, which is a quiet way to change a room without buying anything new.
The face is cotton velvet, which has a short dense pile that feels soft under the hand and gives the colour its depth. A piped edge runs around the seam, a corded trim that finishes the join and helps the cushion hold its square shape. Cotton is a natural fibre that takes colour well and wears in gently over time. The supplier states no care instructions for this cushion, so we would treat the velvet and the foil gently and check the label on the item before cleaning. If you like the way the print works, it holds its own singly or grouped along a longer sofa.

Frequently Asked
What size cushion inner does this take?
The cover measures 43 x 43cm, which is the common square size, so a 43cm or 45cm inner will give you a full, plump finish.
Is the cushion the same on both sides?
No. The front carries the foil-printed velvet design and the back is a plain cotton slub, so you can choose which face to show.
What is the face fabric made from?
The face is cotton velvet, a natural fibre with a short dense pile that feels soft and gives the colours real depth and richness.
What is the edge finished with?
A piped trim runs around the seam, which is a corded edge that neatens the join and helps the cushion keep its square shape.
What colours are in the design?
The ground is pale cream and stone with warm sandy tones, worked over with metallic foil that shimmers and catches the light as you move.
