Description
This square velvet cushion carries a bright checked design worked in cut velvet, so the pattern is something you feel as much as see. The photograph shows a two-tone check in hot pink and gold, the coloured squares raised in soft pile against a finer woven ground, with the pink and gold squares alternating across the face. At 45cm square it is a standard, versatile size that sits comfortably on a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed. It is made from a polyester and viscose velvet, a blend that gives the pile its sheen and its softness.
A cushion this bold does most of its work as a bit of colour in a plainer room. Set it against a neutral sofa, a grey armchair or linen-toned bedding and the pink and gold check does the talking. Because 45cm is the common cushion size, it pairs easily with covers and inserts you may already own, and two or three together build up a layered, textured corner without much effort. It suits a living room that wants a lift, and it works just as well propped on a bedroom chair.
The face is cut velvet, which is why the squares stand slightly proud and catch the light differently as you move past. The cover closes with a zip, so it comes off cleanly for cleaning and goes back on without fuss. Viscose in the blend means the pile takes dye richly and stays soft to the touch, while the polyester content adds resilience for a cushion in daily use. It is a straightforward, cheerful piece rather than a quiet one, and it earns its place by being the thing your eye goes to.
