Cervino Jacquard Cotton Blend Cushion - Duck Egg

The Cervino cushion is a 50 x 50cm square, worked in a jacquard weave that builds its trailing leaf-and-stem pattern into the cloth rather than printing it on top. The face is a cream ground scattered with slender leaves in soft duck egg blues, sage greens and warm sandy tans, the colours shifting slightly as the woven threads catch the light. A duck egg blue brushed fringe runs the whole way round the edge, softening the outline and giving the front some texture even where the pattern is quiet. Front and back are both a cotton and viscose blend, so the same design and feel carry through on the reverse.

At 50cm it is a proper full-size cushion, the sort that reads on a sofa or an armchair without disappearing into the corner. The muted, countryside-leaning palette makes it easy to place against natural linens, oatmeal upholstery and pale timber, and the fringe gives it a slightly more dressed feel than a plain-edged cushion. It suits a living room where you want pattern without anything loud, and it sits happily next to matching curtains from the same design if you are building a coordinated room.

The blend is what makes this cushion work day to day. Cotton gives it body and a matt, natural handle, while viscose lends a little sheen and softness to the woven surface, and together they wear better under regular use than either fibre alone. A concealed zip runs along one edge, so the cover comes off cleanly and the closure stays hidden behind the fringe. The woven jacquard construction means the pattern will not crack or peel the way a print can. If you like the leaf design, look for the coordinating curtains in the same Cervino range to tie a window and a seat together.

Is the leaf pattern woven in or printed on?

It is a jacquard weave, which means the leaf-and-stem design is built into the cloth using the threads themselves, so it will not crack, fade or peel the way a surface print can over time.

What size is this cushion and will it fill a sofa corner?

It measures 50 by 50cm, a full square size that holds its own on a sofa or armchair without looking lost, and works well layered with smaller cushions.

What is the cover made of?

Both the front and the back are a blend of 53 percent cotton and 47 percent viscose, so the cotton gives it a natural matt handle and body while the viscose adds a soft sheen.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a concealed zip along one edge tucked behind the fringe, so the cover can be removed and the closure stays out of sight when the cushion is on display.

What colours are in the design?

The ground is cream and the trailing leaves are worked in soft duck egg blues, sage greens and warm sandy tans, with a duck egg blue brushed fringe running around all four edges.

Can I match it to curtains?

The Cervino range includes curtains in the same woven leaf design, so you can coordinate a window with the cushion if you want a pulled-together look in the room.
