{"product_id":"manhattan-geometric-velvet-cushion-silver","title":"Manhattan Geometric Velvet Cushion - Silver","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Manhattan cushion is worked in cut velvet, where the pile is raised in some areas and clipped away in others to leave a geometric pattern of upright blocks and bars. Look closely at the cloth and you see two surfaces at once: the plush, light-catching velvet and the flatter woven ground beneath it, so the design reads as much through texture as through shade. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square that sits comfortably at the corner of a sofa or against the pillows of a bed. The face is a soft silver grey, the tone shifting a little as the pile catches the light from different angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 50cm square is the size most people reach for first, because it holds its shape well when propped and fills the corner of a three-seater without crowding it. This one suits a calm, neutral room, the kind of grey and taupe setting shown in the photograph, and it works equally on a bed layered in front of larger pillows. Because the pattern is tonal rather than bright, it adds interest without pulling the eye away from the rest of the scheme, which makes it easy to pair with plainer cushions in the same family of colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cushion is made from polyester throughout, a fibre chosen here for its hard-wearing pile; velvet made this way keeps its plush surface and resists crushing better than many natural equivalents. The edge is finished with a piped trim, which gives the seam a defined line and helps the cushion hold a neat square shape. A zip is set into one side so the cover can be taken off, and the piping runs cleanly around all four edges. Smooth the pile back into place after use and it settles quickly. A single tonal design like this is an easy way to bring texture to a seating group without committing to a bold colour.\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\u003eGeometric cut velvet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVelvet face, piped trim, 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\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle cushion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is cut velvet and how does it make the pattern?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut velvet is a fabric where areas of raised pile are contrasted against a flatter ground, so the geometric design shows through the difference in texture as well as tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the cushion?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a 50 x 50cm square, the standard size that suits a sofa corner or the front of a layered bed, and it holds its shape well when propped upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the cover come off?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, there is a zip set discreetly into one side of the cover, so it can be removed.
