Brechia Striped Cotton Cushion - Grey

This is a long rectangular cushion, 60cm long and 30cm wide, with a woven cotton cover and a polyester filling. The front is grey, crossed by rows of fine embroidered stripes in a contrasting tone that run from edge to edge and break into large abstract shapes, with plain grey triangles where the shapes meet. Because the stripes are embroidered rather than printed, they sit slightly raised on the weave and give the surface a gentle texture you can feel. The back is plain grey cotton, a quieter side for the days when you want less pattern.

At this size it is a lumbar cushion, the long shape made for the small of your back in an armchair or for the front of a row of square cushions on a sofa. It suits a bed, laid in front of the pillows, and we like it on a window seat or a reading chair where a full square cushion would crowd you. The grey ground sits easily beside natural wood, linen and woven baskets, and the graphic stripe gives a plain sofa some interest without bringing in another colour. It is an easy choice for a living room, a bedroom or a hallway bench.

The cover is 100% cotton, a woven fabric with the stripes embroidered onto it, and the filling is 100% polyester. The maker's care instructions are machine washing at 40 degrees, tumble drying on a low heat and ironing on a medium setting, so a spill on the sofa need not mean the end of it. It weighs 0.55KG, light enough to move from sofa to bed as often as you like. For a simple arrangement, set it in front of two plain square cushions in a soft neutral, and let its long horizontal lines carry the eye across the sofa.
