Cervino Jacquard Cotton Blend Cushion - Lichen

The Cervino cushion is a jacquard-woven square with a trailing leaf design worked straight into the cloth rather than printed on top. The pattern is a fine botanical of leaves and stems in soft greens against a cream ground, framed on all four sides by a brushed fringe in a pale sandy tone. The face and the back are the same cotton and viscose blend, split evenly at 53% cotton and 47% viscose, which gives the cloth a little weight and a smooth handle. It is a single 50 x 50cm size, the standard square that most cushion pads are made to fit.

This is a cushion for a settled, unhurried room. The muted greens and cream sit easily on a linen sofa, a wing chair or a bed, and the countryside leaf pattern suits a living room or a bedroom done in warm neutrals and natural woods rather than sharp colour. Because the pattern is woven and the palette is quiet, it works as one of a pair on a wide sofa or as a single accent on an armchair, and it will not fight a printed throw or a plainer cushion beside it. The fringed edge gives it a soft, traditional outline that reads well against straight-lined modern furniture.

The cover is jacquard woven, so the leaves are formed by the weave itself and the colour runs through the cloth. A concealed zip along one edge lets you take the cover off the pad, and the fringe runs around all four sides. The cotton in the blend brings breathability and a natural feel, while the viscose adds a smooth surface and a little sheen to the leaves. Style it with other pieces in muted green and cream, or let it stand alone as the one patterned cushion in an otherwise plain arrangement.

Is the leaf pattern printed or woven into the fabric?

It is jacquard woven, which means the leaves are formed by the weave itself, so the design has real texture and the colour runs through the cloth rather than sitting on the surface.

What size cushion pad do I need for this cover?

The cover measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square size, so a 50cm pad fits it well and a slightly larger pad gives a fuller, plumper look if you prefer one.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a concealed zip along one edge, so you can slip the pad out and remove the cover whenever you need to.

What is the fabric made from?

Both the front and the back are a blend of 53% cotton and 47% viscose. The cotton gives it a natural, breathable feel and the viscose adds a smooth surface with a slight sheen.

What colours are in the design?

The ground is cream and the leaves are worked in soft muted greens, with a pale sandy fringe running around all four edges, so it suits neutral and natural rooms.
