Description
The Boulder cushion works its geometry in texture rather than colour. A raised velvet design of rounded, pebble-like shapes sits proud of a flatter woven ground, so the pattern reads through touch and shadow as much as through the eye. Both faces are 100% polyester, and the front carries that soft velvet pile that catches the light differently as you move past it. This is the 40 x 60cm size, a generous lumbar rectangle rather than a square, which makes it a useful shape for the small of your back or the corner of a sofa.
A cushion this shape earns its place on a bed or a settee where a square would sit awkwardly. Laid long across the head of a bed it fills the width between two pillows; propped in the corner of a sofa it supports the lower back where a square cushion tends to slip. The colouring here is a pale, warm neutral, so it settles happily against greys, creams and other soft tones without competing for attention, and the tactile pattern gives a plain scheme something to hold the eye.
The velvet face and the plainer velvet back are both polyester, which wears well and keeps its look through regular use. There is a zip closure along the back, so the cover comes off the inner easily for cleaning and the fill can be adjusted or swapped when you want it plumper or flatter. That zip also makes seasonal changes straightforward if you rotate cushions through the year. Group it with plainer cushions in the same neutral family and let the raised geometric pattern do the talking, or set it against a bolder print to calm things down.
