Description
This is the Evoke cushion, a square velvet cushion worked in a bold geometric pattern. The front face carries interlocking chevrons and maze-like lines cut into the pile, so the design reads as much through texture as through colour. The two tones here are olive and chartreuse: a deeper olive green sits alongside a brighter yellow-green, and where the cut pile catches the light the lines lift and shift. The cover is 100% polyester velvet, and it comes in two square sizes, 45 x 45cm and 55 x 55cm.
A patterned velvet cushion like this earns its place on a plainer piece of furniture. Set it against a neutral sofa, a leather chair or a linen-covered bed and the raised geometric lines do the work without competing for attention. The olive and chartreuse pairing sits comfortably with warm woods, brass and other greens, and one on its own reads as a considered accent rather than a full scheme. Because the reverse is plain velvet in the same green family, it looks finished from any angle, which matters on a bed or a bench where the back is on show.
The cover fastens with a zip, so it lifts off for cleaning and the pad can be swapped or replaced when it settles over time. Velvet is a pile fabric, which is what gives the cushion its depth and its soft hand, and the cut pattern is part of the weave rather than a print, so it will not wear off with use. Being polyester, the pile holds its colour well and resists crushing better than many natural piles. Smooth the pile back with your hand after use to keep the surface even and the pattern crisp.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, a pile fabric that gives the cushion its soft surface and the depth you can see in the cut geometric pattern.
Is the pattern printed or woven in?
It is a cut velvet, meaning the geometric lines are formed in the pile itself rather than printed on, so the design will not fade or wear away with normal use.
What size cushion pad do I need?
This comes in two square sizes, 45 x 45cm and 55 x 55cm, so choose a pad to match the cover size you select for a full, well filled look.
Can I remove the cover to clean it?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover lifts off for cleaning and the pad can be taken out, swapped or replaced when needed.
What does the back of the cushion look like?
The reverse is plain velvet in the same green family as the front, so the cushion looks finished from every angle whether it sits on a sofa or a bed.
