Himal Abstract Cotton Cushion - Dusk

The Himal cushion is a woven abstract in charcoal grey and cream, built around a stepped, interlocking design that shifts between two textures across its face. One half of each block is flat woven cotton in a marled grey; the other is worked in raised knotted loops that stand proud of the surface. It is an oblong cushion measuring 30 by 50cm, a long lumbar shape rather than a square, and the whole front is woven from cotton and recycled PET yarn.

The oblong format makes this a cushion for the front of a sofa or an armchair, sitting in front of larger square cushions to add a layer of depth. The knotted loops give it a heavily tactile, hand-worked quality, and the charcoal-and-cream palette keeps it easy to place against grey, natural or neutral schemes. It works well in a living room built around soft textures, and pairs comfortably with plainer cushions that let its raised pattern do the talking.

The face is woven, with the loop pile forming the pale stepped blocks and the flat weave forming the darker ground. The reverse is a plain cotton in a contrasting cream, so the cushion reads differently depending on which way you turn it, and it closes with a hidden zip along one edge for a clean finish. Cotton is a breathable, hard-wearing natural fibre that takes colour deeply and softens with use, which is why it suits a cushion handled and leant against daily. The knife edge trim keeps the outline crisp rather than piped. If you like the woven, textural look, it sits happily alongside other cushions that lead with pattern and surface interest rather than a single flat colour.

What is the cushion made from?

The face is woven from 100% cotton together with recycled PET yarn, and the plain reverse is cotton. Cotton is a breathable natural fibre that wears well and softens over time.

What size is this cushion?

It measures 30 by 50cm, a long oblong lumbar shape rather than a square, which suits the front of a sofa or the small of your back in an armchair.

Is the cushion the same on both sides?

No. The front carries the woven abstract stepped design with raised knotted loops, while the reverse is a plain contrast cotton, so you can turn it for a quieter look.

How does it close?

There is a hidden zip fastening along one edge, which keeps the outline clean and lets you remove the cover from the pad.

What is the texture like?

The pale stepped blocks are worked in knotted loops that stand proud of the surface, while the darker areas are flat woven, giving it a strongly tactile, hand-worked feel.

What does it go with?

The charcoal and cream palette settles easily against grey, natural and neutral rooms, and it layers well in front of plainer square cushions.
