Description
This is the Marigold cushion, a 50cm square that carries an 1875 William Morris design across a textured jacquard cloth. The pattern is drawn in a soft cream against a deep russet red, with swirling marigold blooms and ruffled foliage filling every corner. Because it is woven as a jacquard rather than printed, the pattern sits in the weave itself, giving the surface a subtle texture you can feel as well as see. The face is 100% polyester, and the same design runs on both sides, so there is no wrong way to plump it on a sofa.
A 50cm cushion is the workhorse size for a sofa or an armchair, large enough to sit against comfortably and to anchor a group of smaller scatter cushions. The russet colouring is warm and grounded, and it earns its place in a room built on ochres, terracottas and soft neutrals, the sort of setting where a dark wood chair and a plaster wall do most of the talking. Set it against a cream or oatmeal seat and the floral reads clearly; layer it with plainer cushions and it becomes the pattern that pulls the arrangement together.
The cushion is finished with a velvet piped trim running the full length of every seam, which crisps up the edges and holds the shape well. A zip closure is set into one side, so the cover comes off for cleaning without a struggle. The cloth is polyester, which is hard-wearing and keeps its colour through regular use, an easy choice for a piece that gets sat on daily. It sits within the wider Marigold range, which carries the same design across other pieces should you want to build the look further.
