Description
This is the Galaxy cushion, a 50 x 50cm square made from yarn-dyed chenille on a dark base, shot through with flecks of golden highlight that catch the light as you move past. Chenille takes its character from the way the yarn is spun, with short piles standing off the core thread, which is what gives this fabric its soft, slightly nubbly hand and its depth of colour. The face is a deep navy that reads almost black in shadow and lifts to a richer blue where the light falls, and the whole thing is finished with a contrasting orange piped trim that runs the full square.
A 50cm cushion is the workhorse size for a sofa or a bed, big enough to lean into and large enough to anchor a corner rather than get lost among smaller scatters. The navy and orange pairing suits moodier rooms, deep-painted walls, warm timber floors and tan leather or velvet seating, where the shimmer in the weave does the lifting rather than a loud pattern. It sits equally well as a single accent or grouped, and the plain face means it plays with print without competing.
The cover is reversible, so you get the same face either way up, and it closes with a hidden zip that keeps the line of the piping unbroken. It is made from 100% polyester, which is hard-wearing and holds its colour well through everyday use, and the piped edge gives the cushion a crisp, defined shape. If you are dressing a whole window as well, the Galaxy range runs to eyelet curtains in the same chenille, so the cushion can echo a larger scheme. Style it against a plain throw to let the golden flecks show, or layer it with texture for a fuller, collected look.

Frequently Asked
What is chenille and how does it feel?
Chenille is a fabric woven from a fuzzy, piled yarn, which gives it a soft, plush hand and a good depth of colour compared with a flat weave.
Is this cushion reversible?
Yes, the cover is reversible, so both sides carry the same chenille face and you can turn it over without any change in appearance.
How big is the cushion?
It measures 50 x 50cm, which is the standard larger scatter size and works well on a sofa, a bed or an armchair.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a hidden zip along one edge, so the cover can be removed while keeping the piped edge looking clean and unbroken.
What colour is the piping?
The piped trim is a contrasting orange, which frames the deep navy face and picks up warmth against the cooler blue of the weave.
