Description
The Evoke cushion is built around a cut velvet geometric pattern, worked in raised profiled lines that catch the light against a deep black ground. Metallic threads run through the base fabric in a golden weave, tracing the angular design so that the pattern reads differently as you move past it. The face is velvet with a soft plain velvet reverse, and the whole thing comes in two square sizes, 45 x 45cm and 55 x 55cm, so you can mix scales across a sofa or a bed.
This is a cushion for a room that wants a little contrast. The black and gold sits well against pale grey upholstery, as the styling shot shows, and it holds its own on a darker sofa where the metallic lines do the lifting. Use the 45cm for layering at the front of a group and the 55cm as the anchor behind it, or run a pair tone on tone for a quieter look. It suits a living room seating arrangement or the head of a bed equally well.
Construction is straightforward and considered. The cover closes with a hidden zip, so the fastening stays out of sight, and it is finished with a smart knife edged trim rather than a piped or flanged border, which keeps the outline clean and lets the pattern carry the detail. The whole cover is 100% polyester, which means it resists fading and keeps its pile well with regular plumping. The plain velvet reverse gives you a second, calmer face to turn outward when you want the geometry to rest. It is part of our wider Evoke range if you want to build the look further.

Frequently Asked
What is the reverse of the cushion like?
The back is a soft plain velvet in the same black, so you can turn it round for a calmer face when you want the pattern to rest.
How does the cover fasten?
It closes with a hidden zip, which keeps the fastening out of sight and gives you a clean edge all the way around the cushion.
What are the two sizes and how should I use them?
You can choose 45 x 45cm or 55 x 55cm. Use the smaller one for layering at the front and the larger one as an anchor behind.
What is the cushion made from?
The cover is 100% polyester, which resists fading and holds its velvet pile well, so it stays looking full with the occasional plump.
Does the pattern really shift with the light?
Yes, the raised cut velvet lines and the metallic gold threads catch the light, so the geometric design reads differently as you move past it.
