Evoke Geometric Velvet Cushion - Navy

The Evoke cushion is built around a cut velvet geometric pattern, where the pile is sculpted into strong angular lines that catch the light differently as you move past. The face is a deep navy velvet, and running alongside the raised velvet lines are metallic gold threads woven into the base fabric, so the design reads as a series of interlocking hexagonal channels rather than a flat print. It is a polyester velvet, which gives it that dense, short pile and a fabric that holds its colour well and resists crushing better than many natural pile fabrics. This size measures 45 x 45cm, with a larger 55 x 55cm version in the same navy also available.

A cushion like this earns its place on a plain sofa or an armchair where the surface around it is quiet. The raised pattern and the gold catch do the work, so it sits happily against neutral linen, pale wool or a mid-tone leather without competing. It works singly as a punctuation point or in a pair, and because the pattern is directional you can angle them so the lines meet or run parallel. The jewel-toned navy also sits well beside other deep colours if you want a layered, tonal look rather than a single accent.

The construction is a knife edge, the simple flat seam that gives a clean square finish rather than a piped or flanged border. A hidden zip along one edge lets you take the cover off, and the reverse is plain navy velvet, so the cushion looks considered from whichever side it faces. Being polyester velvet, always check the sewn-in label before cleaning, as the supplier gives no washing instruction for this piece. Style it tone on tone with plain velvets, or set it against a contrasting jewel shade to let the gold lines stand out.

What is the pattern made of?

The geometric lines are formed by cut velvet, where the pile is sculpted into raised angular channels, with metallic gold threads woven into the base fabric alongside them.

Is the cover removable?

Yes, there is a hidden zip along one edge, so you can take the cover off the pad whenever you need to.

What does the back look like?

The reverse is a plain navy velvet with no pattern, so the cushion looks tidy from either side however it is turned on the sofa.

What size is this cushion?

This is the 45 x 45cm square. There is also a larger 55 x 55cm version in the same navy if you prefer a fuller cushion.

How should I clean it?

The supplier does not state a cleaning method for this cushion, so please check the sewn-in care label before you clean the cover.

What colour goes with it?

The deep navy and gold sit well against neutral linen or wool, and layer nicely with other jewel tones for a tonal look.
