Boulder Geometric Velvet Cushion - Olive

The Boulder cushion takes a pebble geometry and works it in velvet, so the raised, rounded shapes catch the light where the flatter ground recedes. The face is a polyester velvet, olive green throughout, with the smooth stones sitting proud of a finer woven base; the reverse is a plain velvet of the same tone with a horizontal seam near the top. It measures 40 x 60cm, a generous lumbar shape rather than a square, which is the size to reach for when you want length across a seat rather than a bolster of height.

A rectangular cushion of this proportion earns its place at the back of a sofa or across the head of a bed, where it supports the lower back or fills the width behind square scatter cushions. The olive reads as a warm, grounded green that settles happily against natural linen, oatmeal and deeper forest tones, and the tonal design means it adds texture without fighting a patterned throw or a busy headboard. Set it centre stage on a plain sofa, or let it soften a bench or window seat.

The cover is velvet front and back, a pile fabric that shows its depth by the way light moves across it, and it closes with a zip so the cover can be taken off for cleaning or the filling adjusted through the seasons. Because velvet holds a pile, a gentle shake and a smooth of the hand keep the nap sitting evenly. The stone motif is worked into the cloth rather than printed, giving the front its quilted, sculpted relief. It is a quiet, tactile piece that rewards being touched as much as looked at.

What is the cover made from?

The cover is polyester velvet on both the front and the back, which gives it a soft pile that catches the light and a hard-wearing surface for everyday use.

Is this a square cushion or a longer shape?

It is a rectangular lumbar shape at 40 x 60cm, wider than it is tall, which makes it well suited to sitting behind square scatter cushions or supporting the lower back.

Can I remove the cover to clean it?

Yes, there is a zip closure so you can take the cover off for cleaning, adjust the filling or swap things around when the seasons change.

How do I keep the velvet looking its best?

Velvet holds a pile, so a gentle shake and a smooth of the hand in one direction help the nap sit evenly and keep the surface looking full and even.

What colours does the olive work with?

The olive is a warm, grounded green that pairs comfortably with natural linen, oatmeal, cream and deeper forest tones, adding texture without competing with a pattern.
