Kali Birds Reversible Polyester Cushion - Dark Green

The Kali Birds cushion is a bolster-shaped outdoor cushion measuring 30 x 50cm, printed with a symmetrical, hand-painted tropical scene. Two parrots face one another across the centre, joined by four other exotic birds set among jungle florals in pink and magenta against a deep green ground. It is made from 100% polyester, and the fabric is UV and water resistant, so the print holds its colour in sunlight and the cover sheds showers and spills rather than soaking them up. That combination of a printed cloth and a weather-ready fibre is what makes it an outdoor cushion rather than an indoor one dressed up for the patio.

The long, rectangular shape suits a garden bench, an outdoor sofa or a chair where a square cushion would sit awkwardly, giving lower-back support along a seat rather than a single square block. The bold green face works with black metal and natural timber furniture, and the second side lets you change the look without buying another cushion. It sits happily alongside plainer weatherproof cushions or the brighter animal prints in the wider Kali range, so you can build up a mixed group on a bench or bed of seating.

The cushion is reversible: one side carries the birds, the other a printed leaf design on a pale blue ground, so a single flip moves you from a busy jungle look to something calmer and greener. It is finished with a standard knife edge and a hidden zip, which keeps the closure out of sight and lets you take the cover off. Being polyester, it can be wiped down and dries quickly after rain, which is exactly what you want from a piece that lives outside. It is designed, printed and made in the UK.

Can this cushion be left outside?

It is made from UV and water resistant polyester, so it is built to cope with sunshine and showers. We would still bring it in over winter to keep it at its best for longer.

Is it genuinely reversible?

Yes. One side shows the tropical birds and the other a printed leaf design on a pale blue ground, so you can flip it for two different looks from one cover.

How big is it and what does that shape suit?

It measures 30 x 50cm, a long rectangular bolster shape that sits well along a bench or sofa seat where a square cushion would look out of place.

Does the cover come off?

There is a hidden zip closure along the edge, so the cover can be removed. The zip stays out of sight to keep the printed design clean and uninterrupted.

What is the print like?

It is a symmetrical, hand-painted design of two parrots and four other exotic birds among jungle florals, printed in bright pinks and greens on a dark green ground.
