Description
The Dales cushion is made from pure cotton velvet, a fabric that gives you the deep, light-catching pile of velvet with the natural feel of cotton against the skin. The face is worked in a quilted design, a grid of stitched channels that adds a low, understated texture you notice more by touch than at a glance. It measures 50 x 50cm, a generous square that holds its shape on a sofa or a bed without disappearing into the cushions around it. In our Lichen shade it reads as a soft, muted olive green, the kind of colour that settles rather than shouts.
This is a cushion for calm, considered rooms. It sits well on a linen or neutral sofa, where the velvet pile picks up the light and the green grounds a scheme of warm beiges and browns. Layer it with plainer cushions to let the quilting do the talking, or set two together at either end of a longer seat. It is equally at home on a bed, propped against the pillows, or on an armchair where you want a single point of soft colour. The muted tone means it works alongside stronger prints without competing with them.
Cotton velvet has a natural warmth and a pile that flattens and revives as you use it, so a little movement in the surface is part of the fabric, not a fault. The cushion is finished with a zip closure, which lets you remove the cover for cleaning and slip it back on without a fight. Take care of it the way you would any cotton velvet, brushing the pile back into line when it settles. The Lichen green is one of a wider Dales range of quilted velvet cushions, so you can build a set in tones that suit your room.
