Cervino Jacquard Cotton Blend Cushion - Damson

The Cervino cushion is a jacquard woven piece, which means the leafy trailing pattern is worked into the cloth on the loom rather than printed on top. The result is a design with weight and texture to it: on a cream ground, slender stems carry pointed leaves in damson, wine, dusky pink, soft green and warm tan, the colours shifting from leaf to leaf. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square that suits most sofas and armchairs, and the face is a cotton and viscose blend, 53% cotton and 47% viscose front and back.

This is a cushion for a room you want to feel settled and lived-in rather than sharp. The mixed leaf tones give you a lot to pick up on when you style around it, so it sits comfortably against plain linen upholstery, a natural jute rug, or wooden furniture with some age to it. Because the colours run from soft pinks through to deep damson, it works whether you are building a scheme around dusky rose or leaning into the darker reds. One on an occasional chair reads as a considered touch; a pair on a larger sofa fills the space without shouting.

Around all four sides runs a fringed trim in a deep damson, framing the pattern and giving the edge a soft, tasselled finish rather than a hard piped line. The cover fastens with a concealed zip, so the closure stays out of sight and the cushion can be taken off for cleaning. The cotton-viscose blend brings the softness of viscose to the hard-wearing character of cotton, a practical pairing for a cushion that gets leaned on. Cotton takes handling well and holds colour, which matters on a piece with this much of it. Style it with heavier textures for a country look, or set it against smooth fabrics to let the woven leaves stand out.

Is the pattern printed or woven in?

The floral design is jacquard woven, which means it is built into the cloth on the loom. That gives the leaves a raised, textured feel rather than a flat printed surface.

What is the cover made from?

The face is a blend of 53% cotton and 47% viscose, front and back. Cotton brings durability and holds colour well, while viscose adds a softer handle to the woven cloth.

How big is the cushion?

It measures 50 by 50cm, a standard square size that works on most sofas and armchairs and pairs easily with other cushions of the same size.

Does the cover come off?

Yes. It fastens with a concealed zip along one edge, so you can remove the cover when you need to and the closure stays hidden behind the fringed trim.

What colours are in the design?

The leaves run through damson, wine red, dusky pink, soft green and warm tan on a cream ground, with a deep damson fringe framing all four sides.
