Fruits Piped Polyester Cushion - Coral/Lemon

This is an outdoor cushion in our Fruits range, printed with a heritage-style fruit design of pomegranates and citrus set among leafy branches. The front carries the print on a pale ground, with green foliage, coral-orange fruit and small blue and yellow flowers, while the reverse and the piped trim around the edge are a solid coral pink. It measures 45cm by 45cm, a standard square that suits most seating. The face is 100% polyester, chosen and treated so the cushion can live outside rather than only look the part indoors.

It is made for a garden chair, a bench or a rattan seat on a patio, and the photograph shows it doing exactly that on a woven outdoor chair. Because polyester is quick to shed water and does not soak up damp the way a natural fibre would, this is the cushion you can leave out through a shower and bring back into use once it has dried off. Group it with the other prints in the range for a mixed, gathered look, or use a single square to lift a plain bench. It works just as well brought indoors on a sofa if you want the pattern year round.

The cover is finished with a neat piped trim that runs around all four edges and defines the shape, and it closes with a zip so the cover comes off easily. Polyester is a hard-wearing fibre that holds printed colour well and resists creasing, which is what makes it sensible for a seat that gets sat on and moved about. The coral piping picks up the coral fruit on the front, tying the plain back to the patterned face. If you like the fruit motif, look for the sibling colourways in the Fruits range shown alongside it.

Can this cushion be left outside?

Yes, the fabric is treated for outdoor use and is water resistant, so it copes with a passing shower and everyday garden conditions much better than an indoor cushion would.

What is the cover made from?

The cover is 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that sheds water quickly, holds printed colour well and resists creasing, which is why it suits a seat that gets regular use.

How big is the cushion?

It measures 45cm by 45cm, a standard square size that pairs comfortably with most garden seating and works equally well brought indoors onto a sofa or armchair.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is an easy to use zip closure running along one edge, so you can take the cover off the inner pad whenever you need to.

What does the reverse look like?

The back is a plain coral pink and the piped trim around all four edges is the same coral, which picks up the coral fruit printed across the patterned front.

Is it patterned on both sides?

No, the fruit design is on the front only. The reverse is a solid coral pink, so you can turn the cushion for pattern or plain as suits your setting.
