Description
The Empress cushion is a square faux fur cushion in a warm rust orange, measuring 45 x 45cm. It is made entirely from polyester, worked into a soft, deep pile with long fibres that run through your hands. The face is divided into vertical channels of raised fur, a ribbed look you can see clearly across the front and along the side profile, which gives the cushion a good deal of loft and a comfortable, plump feel in the hand.
This is a cushion for a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed, and the rust shade sits happily against grey, cream and other warm neutrals. It reads as a cosy, cabin-like piece rather than a crisp one, so it works best where you want a room to feel softer and warmer underfoot for the eye. Grouped with the other colourways in the range, from navy and green through to a deep red, it builds an easy autumn and winter palette on a plain seat.
Being polyester throughout, the pile is hard-wearing and does not stain easily, which is a fair reason to reach for it on a sofa that sees daily use. The cover fastens with a hidden zip closure, so the pad slips in and out without a visible fastening breaking the run of the fur. Polyester should be washed separately from other items, and this cover is no exception. The long-pile fur wants a gentle hand and a shake to lift the fibres back up after use. Set it alongside a smoother weave or a knitted throw to play the textures off one another, and let the depth of the fur do the work.
