Description
This square woven cushion measures 45cm long and 45cm wide and is worked in broad horizontal stripes of multicoloured yarn. Each band is built from fine vertical ribs, so the surface has a raised, corded texture that you notice the moment your hand rests on it. It is woven from cotton, polyester, viscose, acrylic, nylon and wool, and the cushion comes filled with polyester, weighing 0.7KG in all. At 45cm by 45cm it is a familiar cushion size, so it sits comfortably among the cushions you already own.
With this much colour in a single piece, the cushion does its best work against a plain backdrop: a sofa in a quiet shade, a linen-dressed bed or a wooden armchair. It brings warmth to a living room, gives a reading chair a cheerful lift and suits a bedroom or a child's room where a little brightness is welcome. Use a pair at either end of a sofa for balance, or a single one as the only bright note in an otherwise calm room. Because the stripes run in bands, it also mixes easily with plain cushions that pick up any one of its shades.
The finish is woven, and the care is simpler than the texture might suggest: the cushion can be machine washed at 40 degrees, tumble dried on a low setting and ironed at a medium heat. Its modest weight makes it easy to carry from sofa to bed whenever needed, so it can follow the season or the mood. For a relaxed, layered look, set it in front of a larger plain cushion so the stripes lead the eye, and give it a good plump before setting it in place so the ribbed bands sit neat and level.
