Description
The Kali Leaves cushion is an outdoor cushion with two faces, and that is the first thing to know about it. One side carries a bold, hand-painted jungle scene of broad tropical foliage in deep greens and near-black, cut through with a warm orange ground and a scatter of white flowers with yellow centres. Turn it over and the reverse settles right down into a soft sage ground with slim olive leaves trailing on fine coral stems. It measures 50 x 50cm, a standard scatter-cushion size, and it is made from 100% polyester with a zip fastening so the cover can come off.
Being an outdoor cushion, this one is built for the patio, the garden bench, the balcony or a covered seating area rather than the sofa indoors, though nothing stops you using it inside too. The two prints give you a genuine choice season to season and mood to mood: the busy tropical face for a warm, lively corner, the quiet leaf-trail face when you want something calmer. It sits happily against natural rattan, pale timber and neutral outdoor upholstery, and being reversible it pairs with more schemes than a single-sided cushion would.
The cover is polyester, which is a hard-wearing synthetic that sheds water and holds printed colour well, and the supplier states this fabric is UV- and water-resistant, so it is meant to cope with sunshine, showers and the odd spill. Construction is a standard knife edge with a zip closure. Polyester is quick to dry and does not soak up moisture the way a natural fibre would, which is exactly what you want on a seat that lives outside. Designed, printed and made in the UK. If you like the print, look out for the wider Kali Leaves outdoor range under the same name.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion be left outside?
It is an outdoor cushion made from UV- and water-resistant polyester, so it is designed to cope with sunshine, showers and spills. We would still bring it in over winter to make it last.
Is it really reversible?
Yes. One side shows the bold tropical foliage print and the other a calmer scattered leaf design on a sage ground, so you can flip it to suit your mood or the setting.
What size is it and will it fit a standard pad?
It measures 50 x 50cm, a common scatter-cushion size, so a 50cm square inner pad is the right fit. The cover has a zip so you can remove it.
What is the cover made of?
The cover is 100% polyester, a hard-wearing synthetic that resists water, dries quickly and holds printed colour well, which is why it suits outdoor use.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, the cushion has a zip fastening, so the cover can be taken off the inner pad.
