Boulder Geometric Velvet Cushion - Sunset

The Boulder cushion is worked in a soft velvet, its front carried by a geometric design of rounded, pebble-like shapes that sit raised against a flatter ground. In the photograph those forms read as smooth, tactile stones packed together across the face, catching the light differently as the pile shifts, while the reverse is a plain velvet in a warmer tan. It measures 40 x 60cm, a generous rectangular bolster shape that gives you something more architectural than the usual square, and the whole piece is finished front and back in polyester velvet.

A rectangular cushion of this size earns its place on a sofa or a bed, where it works as the layer in front of larger square cushions rather than behind them. The long, low proportion suits a made bed particularly well, sitting across the pillows, and it is equally at home propped in the corner of an armchair or a reading chair where its length gives real support to the small of your back. The sunset tone is a warm terracotta orange, an easy companion to natural woods, cream and neutral walls, and to deeper autumnal shades if you want to build a layered, tonal scheme.

The velvet gives the cushion its depth of colour and its soft, dense handle, and the raised geometric shapes across the front give it texture you notice as much by touch as by sight. It closes with a zip along one edge, which means you can lift the cover away for cleaning or take the filling out when you want to plump or adjust it. Being velvet, it responds well to a gentle brush to lift the pile and keep the surface even. If you are dressing a whole room, the long rectangular format pairs naturally with square cushions in plainer weaves to build up a mix of shapes and heights.
