Description
The Leopardis cushion is a 50 x 50cm square made from 100% polyester, printed on both faces so it works two ways. One side shows a pair of facing zebra heads set against palm fronds in olive and cream, on a deep black ground. Turn it over and the reverse carries an all-over zebra stripe in the same black and off-white palette. Because polyester holds printed colour crisply and resists fading better than many natural fibres, the black stays black and the greens stay bright through a season of use.
This is an outdoor cushion, so it belongs on garden seating, a bench, a rattan sofa or a set of patio chairs, though there is nothing to stop it living indoors on a sofa or reading chair. The 50 x 50cm size is the standard large scatter size, generous enough to sit against your back and big enough to anchor a corner of a garden sofa. The monochrome ground with a flash of green sits happily beside grey, natural timber and stone, and the two prints mean you can buy several and mix the face you show. As shown, one cushion turned to the zebra-head side and one to the stripe reads as a considered pair rather than a matched set.
The cover is woven polyester with a zip closure, so it lifts off cleanly when you want to bring it in over winter or freshen it up. The zip also makes the cover the part you handle rather than the whole pad. It is the reversible face that earns its place here: two looks from one cushion, and a print bold enough to carry a plain outdoor scheme on its own. Style it against solid black or grey cushions to let the zebra do the talking, or layer it with more foliage-led prints for a fuller jungle feel.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion be left outside?
It is made as an outdoor cushion in woven polyester, a fibre that copes well with the elements, though we would still bring it under cover in prolonged wet weather to keep it at its best.
Is the cushion really different on each side?
Yes. One face shows two facing zebra heads with palm fronds, and the reverse carries an all-over zebra stripe, so you get two distinct looks from a single cushion.
What size is it and will it fit standard covers?
It measures 50 x 50cm, the common large scatter size, so replacement pads and covers in that dimension are easy to source if you ever need them.
Does the cover come off?
There is a zip closure, so the cover lifts away from the pad for easier handling and storage over the colder months.
What colours are in the print?
The main face is black, cream and off-white with olive green palm leaves, and the reverse is black and cream zebra stripe, so it reads as monochrome with a touch of green.
