Caval Velvet Chenille Cushion - Bronze

The Caval cushion pairs two textures on one face: a nubbly boucle set against a smoother chenille, worked as a contrast jacquard so the abstract shapes are built into the weave rather than printed on top. The pattern reads as bronze forms floating over a cream ground, an unstructured, organic design that feels drawn by hand. It is made from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds colour well and keeps its shape through daily use, and it comes as a single 50 x 50cm square, the standard sofa size that most cushion pads are sold to fit.

This is a cushion for a room that wants texture more than pattern. The tonal bronze-on-cream palette sits easily with warm neutrals, tan leather and natural wood, so it works on a sofa, a reading chair or across a bed as an accent. Because the front carries the interest and the back is plain, you can turn it to the smooth side when you want the shapes to rest, which makes it flexible in a mixed group of cushions rather than something that has to lead.

The reverse is a plain velvet, and the two faces are joined with a piped edge that gives the cushion a defined outline and keeps its square shape sitting crisply on a seat. A zip closure runs along one side, so the cover comes off the pad for cleaning and goes back on without fuss. Polyester is quick to dry and resists creasing, which suits a cover that is handled often. Style it against textured throws and other tonal cushions to let the boucle and chenille contrast do the work, or use it as the one patterned piece in an otherwise plain scheme.

What is the front of the cushion made of?

The face is a contrast jacquard that combines a textured boucle with a smoother chenille, so the abstract shapes are woven in rather than printed on the surface.

Is the back the same as the front?

No, the reverse is a plain velvet in the same bronze tone, so you can turn the cushion to a smooth side when you want the pattern to rest.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover lifts off the pad easily and goes back on without any struggle.

What size pad does it fit?

The cover measures 50 x 50cm, which is the standard square sofa size, so a 50cm pad gives it a full, well-filled look.

What is the piped edge for?

The piping runs around the seam where the two faces meet, giving the cushion a defined outline and helping it keep a crisp square shape on a seat.

Is polyester easy to live with?

Polyester is hard-wearing, holds its colour and resists creasing, which suits a cushion cover that gets handled and moved around often.
