Description
This is an oblong cotton cushion, 50cm long and 30cm wide, woven in wide horizontal stripes. Bands of a denser weave alternate with looser, more open bands, and each change is marked by a row of short stitched dashes, so the pattern is one you can feel as well as see. The cover is 100% cotton and the filling is 100% polyester, and the whole cushion weighs 0.45KG. Its natural colour is a quiet one that settles easily beside wood, stone and other plain textiles.
At this size it works as a lumbar cushion rather than a square scatter cushion. It sits in front of larger cushions on a sofa, along the pillows of a made bed, or in the curve of an armchair where a full square would crowd the seat. It suits a reading chair, a window seat or a hallway bench, and the woven texture gives depth to a room full of plain upholstery. Because the stripes run along its length, it reads well laid across the width of a sofa or a bed, and it is light enough to move from room to room as the mood changes.
The woven finish is on the front; the back is plain, unpatterned cotton, so the cushion can be turned over when a quieter look suits the room. Care is straightforward for something that lives on an everyday sofa: it can be machine washed at 40 degrees, tumble dried on a low setting and ironed at a medium heat. For styling, pair it with square cushions in a plain weave so the stripes have room to show, and keep the other tones close to natural for a calm, layered sofa or bed.
