Description
The Empress cushion is a plain faux fur square with a deep, dense pile and a warm brown tone that runs right across the face. There is no pattern to it, which is the point: the interest is in the texture rather than a print, and the surface catches the light differently as you move past it. It comes in two square sizes, a 45x45cm and a larger 55x55cm, so you can mix scales along a sofa or a bed rather than lining up identical pads.
This is a cushion for the rooms where you actually sit. On a sofa it adds a soft layer you will want to lean into, and against a plain linen or cotton throw the brown reads as a grounding, earthy note rather than a loud one. It works well on a bed as a top cushion, and it sits comfortably alongside other textured pieces without competing with them. If your scheme is built on neutrals and natural materials, a brown faux fur cushion gives it depth without adding a colour that has to be matched.
The cover is faux fur throughout, with a zip closure so it can be taken off the pad when you need to. Faux fur is a synthetic pile, so it does not shed the way a natural fur would and it holds its colour well; a gentle shake and a smooth of the hand with the pile settle it back after use. The photographs show faint vertical channels running down the face where the pile falls, giving the plain surface a little quiet structure. It is offered here in brown, one of a wider Empress range of faux fur cushions.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester faux fur, a soft synthetic pile that gives the plush feel and warm brown look you can see in the photographs.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover can be removed from the pad when you need to freshen it up.
What sizes does the Empress cushion come in?
It is made in two square sizes, a 45x45cm and a larger 55x55cm, which lets you layer different scales together.
Will faux fur shed like real fur?
Faux fur is a synthetic pile rather than an animal fibre, so it does not shed in the same way and it keeps its colour well over time.
How do I keep the pile looking its best?
A gentle shake and a smooth of the hand along the direction of the pile settle the fur back after use and keep the surface even.
Is this cushion just brown, or is there a pattern?
It is a plain cushion with no printed pattern, so the texture of the faux fur is the feature rather than any design.
