Forma Striped Throw - Beige

Our Forma throw sets a bold printed pattern of interlocking ovals, meeting in a repeating lattice of circles, on a beige ground. The reverse carries fine stripes, and a band of stripes runs across one end of the printed side too, so you get two looks from a single throw. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a generous size for covering your knees on the sofa or laying across the foot of a bed. The fabric is a blend led by cotton, at 48%, with 35% polyester, 8% viscose, 6% acrylic, 2% polyamide and 1% wool, and at 1.18KG it has real substance rather than the wispy feel of a lightweight wrap.

It belongs in the sitting room, draped over the arm of a sofa or across the seat of an armchair, where the printed side and the stripes both show as it falls. In the bedroom it adds a layer at the end of the bed, or an extra cover for reading on cooler evenings. The beige sits easily with wood, rattan and pale walls, while the dark print gives a quiet room a crisp, graphic note. It suits anyone who likes pattern without loud colour, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming present for a first flat or a new home.

The pattern is printed onto the fabric, and full tassels finish the corners, adding a playful detail where the throw hangs over the edge of a chair. Care is straightforward: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a medium iron, so an everyday spill on the sofa is no cause for worry. For an easy styling note, fold it lengthways in thirds over the back of the sofa and let one end hang down the side, so the band of stripes sits beside the geometric print.
