Folk Flora Floral Polyester Cushion - Ochre

The Folk Flora cushion carries a bold ochre-yellow ground worked with a graphic floral design drawn from traditional folk art. A stylised central medallion sits in the middle of the face, ringed by fanned blooms, curling leaves and clusters of small berries in deep teal, red, cream and soft blue. It is made from 100% polyester and measures 43 x 43cm, a standard square size that suits most cushion pads and sits happily among a mixed group.

This is an outdoor cushion, so its natural home is the garden bench, the rattan chair or the patio sofa, though there is nothing to stop it living indoors too. The warm yellow reads as cheerful rather than loud, and it pairs easily with rust and orange tones, with plain teal or with natural woods and wicker. Group it with a coordinating orange colourway from the same range, or set it against solid colours to let the pattern do the talking. Because the print is symmetrical, it looks composed however it lands.

The cover is finished with a standard knife edge and a hidden zip closure, so the pad slips in and out without a fussy trim showing at the seam. The polyester is water resistant, which is what makes it fit for outdoor use: it is built to shrug off a passing shower and the odd spill rather than sit permanently out in the weather. Polyester also holds printed colour well and resists fading in strong light, so the design stays crisp through the season. The design is printed and made in the UK. It is offered here in ochre alongside an orange colourway, so you can build a set or mix the two across a bench.

Can this cushion stay outside all the time?

It is made from water resistant polyester designed to withstand showers and spills, so it copes well outdoors, though bringing it in during heavy or prolonged wet weather will keep it at its best.

What size pad does it take?

The cover measures 43 x 43cm, so a 43cm or 45cm square pad gives a full, well-filled look. A slightly larger pad plumps the corners nicely.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so you can slip the pad out and the cover comes away cleanly without any visible fastening.

Will the bright colours fade in the sun?

Polyester holds printed colour well and resists fading in strong light, which is part of why it is chosen for outdoor cushions that spend the day in the garden.

Is a matching cushion available?

The Folk Flora design is offered in this ochre yellow and in a coordinating orange colourway, so you can pair the two or build a small set.
