Description
The Fiesta cushion is a plain velvet cover finished with contrasting pompoms along its short edges. This one pairs a deep indigo-teal body with olive-yellow pompoms, a colourway named after the Spanish word for festival. The cover measures 35 x 50cm, a rectangular bolster shape rather than a square, which makes it a good size to prop against the arm of a sofa or to break up a row of larger square cushions. The body is 100% polyester velvet, a pile fabric that catches the light and shifts tone as you move around it, so the flat indigo you see head-on softens and deepens at an angle.
A rectangular cushion this size does a specific job. It sits in front of taller square cushions to build up depth on a sofa or bed, and its length makes it comfortable to tuck behind the small of your back. The teal body reads as a jewel tone and works with warm neutrals, natural woods and brass; the olive pompoms pick up any yellow or ochre already in the room. Use it on a reading chair, along the back of a settee, or as the front layer in a mixed group where the pompom trim gives the arrangement its playful note.
The cover fastens with a hidden zip, so nothing interrupts the plain velvet face, and it is sold as a cover on its own. Because of the pompom trim it should not go in the machine; the supplier confirms it is safe to iron, which is useful for lifting the pile and settling any travel creases. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and resists staining, which suits a cushion meant to be handled and moved about. If you like the tactile, festival-bright idea, the wider Fiesta range runs across several two-tone colourways in the same plain velvet body.
