Description
The Meridian is a plain velvet cushion with a contrasting piped trim running the full way round its edge. It is made from 100% polyester velvet, which gives it the deep, light-catching pile you can see shifting across the face of the cushion as it turns. This is the sage colourway, a soft muted green with a warmer, slightly golden piping that outlines the square and picks out its shape. It comes in two square sizes, 45 x 45cm and 55 x 55cm, so you can choose the scale that suits your seating.
A plain velvet cushion is one of the most useful things you can keep in a room, because it works as either the quiet element or the accent depending on what sits beside it. This sage green is gentle enough to soften a bolder patterned cushion next to it, and rich enough to hold its own as a standalone accent on a sofa or at the head of a bed. It sits happily against neutral upholstery and pairs comfortably with other velvets or with plain woven throws. The larger 55cm size reads more as a supporting cushion at the back of a deep sofa; the 45cm is the everyday square most seating is scaled for.
Velvet has a directional pile, so the shade shifts a little depending on the angle you view it from and the light in the room, which is part of what gives the fabric its depth. The cushion is a square design finished with a concealed zip closure, so the opening stays out of sight and the piped edge frames the cover cleanly. The piping also helps the cover hold its shape through use. For a fuller look, layer it with the same design in the second size, or with a contrasting texture alongside.

Frequently Asked
What is this cushion made of?
It is made from 100% polyester velvet, giving it a soft pile that catches the light and a full, plump feel against the hand.
What size cushion should I choose?
It comes as a 45 x 45cm square and a larger 55 x 55cm square. The 45cm suits most sofas and beds, while the 55cm works well as a supporting cushion at the back.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a concealed zip closure along one edge, so the cover can be removed while keeping the opening neatly out of sight.
Will the green look the same all over?
Velvet has a directional pile, so the sage shade shifts slightly with the angle of view and the light in the room, which is normal for the fabric.
What does the piped trim do?
The contrasting piping outlines the square edge and helps the cover hold its shape, framing the plain velvet face and defining the cushion's form.
Can I use two together?
Yes, the two sizes layer well together, and the plain sage sits comfortably beside patterned or textured cushions as either the accent or the calmer element.
