Manhattan Geometric Velvet Cushion - Ivory

The Manhattan cushion is a 50x50cm square in cut velvet, worked with a geometric pattern of short, angled blocks that read as an irregular brickwork across the face. Because it is cut velvet, the design is built into the pile itself rather than printed: the raised motifs catch the light one way and the flatter ground catches it another, so the pattern shifts as you move past it. The whole thing sits in a soft ivory cream, quiet enough to work as a texture rather than a bold graphic.

A 50x50cm cushion is the standard large square most sofas and armchairs are built around, so this is the one that anchors a group rather than perches at the front. The ivory ground and the low-contrast pattern make it an easy neighbour: it sits happily against darker upholstery, against wood tones, and beside plainer cushions in the same neutral family without competing with them. It suits a living room sofa or an armchair, and it works equally as a bedroom accent laid against a headboard or across the foot of a bed.

The face is cut velvet, which gives that dense, plush hand and the light-catching depth that flat weaves cannot. A piped trim runs the full edge, defining the seam and helping the cushion hold its square shape through use. A zip closure sits discreetly in one side, so the cover comes off cleanly when you need it to and goes back on without a visible fastening. It is made from polyester throughout, which is why the velvet holds its shape and resists crushing. Keep it as one of a pair for symmetry, or let it stand alone as the plush note in a mixed neutral scheme.

What size is this cushion and what will it fit?

It measures 50x50cm, the standard large square. It suits most sofas and armchairs, and a 50cm cushion pad will fill it out fully.

What is cut velvet and how does the pattern work?

Cut velvet has the design formed in the pile itself, with raised and flatter areas. The geometric motifs catch light differently from the ground, so the pattern shifts as you move.

Does the cover come off?

Yes. There is a discreet zip closure set into one side, so the cover comes off cleanly and goes back on without a visible fastening.

What is the piped trim for?

The piping runs the full edge, defining the seam line and helping the cushion keep its crisp square shape through everyday use.

What colour is it exactly?

It is a soft ivory cream throughout, a low-contrast neutral where the pattern reads as texture rather than a bold graphic.
