{"product_id":"lustre-velvet-plain-polyester-cushion-silver","title":"Lustre Velvet Plain Polyester Cushion - Silver","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a plain square cushion in crushed velvet, made from 100% polyester. The pile has a lustre finish that catches the light and shifts between soft silver and a paler, almost white sheen as you move around it, which is exactly what a crushed velvet does: the fibres lie in different directions and reflect light unevenly, so the surface never reads as a single flat tone. It is styled on both sides in the same velvet, so there is no plain reverse to hide, and it is finished with a self-piped edge in the same fabric that runs cleanly around all four sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plain silver-grey velvet cushion is one of the most useful things to keep on a sofa or a bed, because it sits with almost anything. It layers well against patterned cushions, linen and cotton throws, and both warm and cool neutrals, so you can put it into an existing scheme without having to rebuild the palette around it. On a grey or navy sofa it lifts the seat with a bit of shine; on a bed it works as a front layer against plainer pillowcases. The square shape stacks and layers easily with rectangular and round cushions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover fastens with a zip, so you can take it off the pad for cleaning without wrestling the fabric. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and holds its colour, which is why it suits a cushion that gets daily use and leaning on. The crushed texture is forgiving too, since the uneven pile disguises the everyday marking that shows more readily on a smooth, flat velvet. Shown here in silver, a light neutral that reads brighter or softer depending on the light in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlain crushed velvet, styled both sides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-piped edge, zip closure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 x 50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the velvet on both sides of the cushion?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the crushed velvet runs across both faces, so there is no plain reverse and either side can be shown facing out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the cover come off for cleaning?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it has a zip closure, which lets you remove the cover from the pad quickly whenever you need to clean it or freshen it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the colour look uneven in the photographs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is the nature of crushed velvet.
