Description
The Connie cushion is a striped linen-look cushion measuring 35 by 50cm, a generous rectangular shape rather than a square. The face carries a printed stripe running the length of the cover, in a soft clay pink against a natural, oatmeal ground. Around the whole edge runs a gathered ruffle trim in the same cloth, which is what gives this cushion its character and sets it apart from a plain-edged rectangle. The fabric is a polyester and linen blend, 85% polyester with 15% linen, and the linen content is what lends the surface its slightly textured, relaxed look.
A rectangular cushion of this size sits well against the arm of a sofa or propped at the head of a bed, where it gives lower-back support in a way a square cushion does not. The clay pink and natural stripe is a quiet, warm combination that works with neutral walls and wooden furniture, and it leans towards a cottage, country feel rather than anything sharp or modern. Set it alone as an accent or layer it with plainer cushions in cream and natural to let the stripe and ruffle do the talking.
The cover is double-sided, so the striped face carries on both front and back and you can turn it without losing the pattern. A zip closure runs along one edge, which means the cover comes off easily for cleaning and goes back on without fuss. The gathered ruffle is stitched around all four sides. Being a polyester-rich blend, the fabric holds its shape and resists creasing better than pure linen would, so the ruffle keeps its gather. The stripe is offered in other colourways, including green and a darker brown, if you are building a mixed set.
