Description
The Kalho cushion leads with a jacquard geometric front worked in velvet: a repeating pattern of tall, tapering blocks in soft pink and warm ochre, where the woven design gives you a matt, brushed feel across the face rather than a printed surface. It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square that most cushion pads and covers are built around, so it slots straight into an existing arrangement without leaving you hunting for an odd-sized filler.
A 45cm square is the workhorse of a sofa or a bed. Two or three across the back of a settee, or a single one dropped into an armchair, and the geometry does the talking. The pink and ochre palette is warm without being loud, so it sits happily against a neutral sofa, a cream chair or a darker frame, and it holds its own next to plainer velvet cushions in a single colour. Use it where you want a bit of pattern to break up a block of solid upholstery.
The front carries the jacquard geometric design and the reverse is a plain velvet in the same ochre tone, so the cushion reads well whichever way it falls. A knife edge trim keeps the seam clean and flat, and a zip closure runs along one edge so the cover comes off the pad when you need it. It is made from 100% polyester, which is why it feels soft under the hand while standing up to daily use and the odd knock. Turn it now and then to keep the two faces wearing evenly.

Frequently Asked
Is the pattern printed or woven into the fabric?
The geometric front is a jacquard, which means the pattern is woven into the velvet rather than printed on top, giving it a matt, brushed feel across the face.
What is on the back of the cushion?
The reverse is a plain velvet in the ochre tone, so you can turn the cushion to show either the geometric pattern or a solid face depending on the look you want.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, a zip runs along one edge so you can take the cover off the pad, which makes it easier to handle when you need to freshen it up.
What size pad does this cushion take?
It is a 45 x 45cm square, the most common cushion size, so a standard 45cm pad will fill it out neatly without leaving the corners flat.
What is the cushion made from?
It is 100% polyester velvet, which keeps the surface soft under the hand while being hard-wearing enough for everyday use on a sofa or bed.
