Iles Cushion - Yellow

The Iles cushion is a square cushion with a front panel of folded fabric strips laid in a basketweave pattern. The strips run on the diagonal and each one is pressed into a soft, rounded fold, so the lattice has real depth and plays with light and shadow. The colour is a deep ochre yellow, a warm mustard shade somewhere between gold and turmeric. The polyester cover has a short, soft pile and a gentle sheen that makes the colour look richer still. It measures 45cm long and 45cm wide, a classic size for sofas, armchairs and beds, and weighs 0.65KG.

This is an indoor cushion, at home on a sofa, an armchair, a window seat or across the head of a bed. Ochre works especially well against charcoal, slate grey, navy and deep green upholstery, where it adds a pocket of warmth without asking anything of the rest of the room. It sits just as happily alongside natural wood, rattan and brass. Because the pattern lives in the texture rather than a print, a single cushion gives a plain sofa plenty of interest, while two or three together make a confident, coordinated group. It suits anyone who wants colour and craftsmanship in one easy change.

The cover is 100% polyester, a fibre that resists creasing and shrinking, so the folded strips hold their crisp, sculpted shape through everyday use. Care is simple, as the cushion is spot clean only. Deal with a mark promptly using a damp cloth and a little mild soap, dabbing rather than rubbing so the pile and the folds stay neat, and avoid soaking it or putting it in the washing machine. Now and then, run a hand along the strips to settle the folds, and the basketweave keeps its tidy, tailored look on the sofa day after day.
