Description
This is a festive cushion with a tufted front spelling out "Ho Ho" in white letters, worked between little peppermint swirls in red and white. The lettering and the swirls sit against a soft blush ground, and the design is finished top and bottom with a red banded border dotted with pale flecks. The face is 100% polyester and the reverse is 100% cotton, so you get a hard-wearing, textured front and a smooth, natural-fibre back. It measures 30 x 50cm, an oblong lumbar shape rather than a square, which is the size to reach for when you want a bolster of cheer along the front of a sofa rather than a plump filler behind your back.
The plain blush reverse is the reason this one earns its place past Twelfth Night more easily than most Christmas cushions. Turn it face-out on the sofa or an armchair through December, then flip it to show the plain pink back and it reads as an ordinary soft furnishing the rest of the year. It sits happily alongside plainer neutrals and other red-and-white festive pieces, and the raised tufting gives it a warm, hand-worked feel that a printed cushion cannot match. Drop it on a bench in the hallway, a bedroom chair or a window seat wherever you want a small seasonal note.
The tufted pile is what gives the front its depth, the letters and swirls standing proud of the ground so the light catches them. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off the pad without fuss when you want to put it away for the year. The two faces are made from different fibres, polyester on the decorated front and cotton on the reverse, so treat it as the more delicate of the two would prefer and store it flat between seasons to keep the pile even.
