Evoke Geometric Velvet Cushion - Brick

The Evoke cushion is a cut velvet piece with a strongly profiled geometric pattern worked across its face. The design radiates out in nested, angular lines, with sunken velvet channels catching the light differently from the raised pile between them, so the pattern reads as much through texture as through colour. Metallic threads run through the base fabric in a golden weave, picking out fine lines within the geometry against a warm brick ground. It is made from 100% polyester and comes in two square sizes, 45 x 45cm and 55 x 55cm, so you can choose the scale that suits your seating.

This is a cushion for a sofa, a reading chair or the head of a bed, wherever you want a bit of depth and shadow rather than a flat block of colour. The warm brick tone sits happily against neutral linens, browns and creams, and the graphic cut of the velvet gives it presence without any pattern that fights the rest of the room. Bought in a pair, as shown, two of them anchor the corners of a sofa; a single works as a centre piece layered in front of plainer cushions. The rich, warm colour lends itself to autumn and winter settings and to rooms with a lot of natural wood.

The front carries the cut velvet geometry; the reverse is a plain velvet in the same brick tone, so the cushion still looks considered when it is turned over. It is finished with a standard knife edge and closed with a hidden zip, which keeps the seam clean and lets you take the cover off. Velvet has a pile that responds to light, so the shade shifts a little as you move around it. Layer it tone on tone with other warm shades, or set it against contrasting jewel colours if you want the geometry to stand out more.

What is the cushion made from?

It is 100% polyester woven as a cut velvet, with metallic golden threads running through the base fabric to pick out the geometric lines.

Is the pattern on both sides?

No. The cut velvet geometric design is on the front only; the reverse is a plain velvet in the same brick tone, so it still looks smart turned over.

What sizes does it come in?

There are two square sizes to choose from, 45 x 45cm and 55 x 55cm, so you can match the scale to your sofa or bed.

How does the cover come off?

There is a hidden zip closure along one edge, which keeps the seam looking clean and lets you remove the cover when you need to.

Why does the colour seem to shift?

Velvet has a directional pile that catches light differently depending on the angle, so the brick shade looks lighter or deeper as you move around it.
