Description
The Meridian is a plain velvet cushion with a single point of contrast: a piped trim running the whole way round the edge in a colour set against the body. On this one the face is a soft olive green and the piping is a warm ginger, so the outline reads clearly against a plain field rather than getting lost in a pattern. The cover is 100% polyester velvet, which gives it that short, dense pile that catches the light differently as you move past it. It comes in two square sizes, 45 x 45cm and 55 x 55cm, so you can choose the smaller for a neat accent or the larger for something with more presence on a seat.
A plain velvet cushion earns its place by being the calm piece in a mix. Sit it on a sofa alongside a patterned cushion or two and it steadies the group, while the ginger piping picks up warmer tones elsewhere in the room. It works equally well on a bed as a top layer, or in a reading chair where you want something to lean into. Because the colour is solid and the only detail is the edge, it suits both quieter modern rooms and busier layered ones without competing.
The cover is finished with a concealed zip along one edge, so the closure stays out of sight and the piped outline stays unbroken. Polyester velvet holds its shape and colour well and does not crush as readily as some pile fabrics, which matters on a cushion that gets sat against. The square shape and the piped border give it a defined, tailored look rather than a soft slouchy one. Pair the olive with the ginger picked up in a throw, or set it against deeper greens and rust tones to build a warm, considered palette.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made of?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, a short dense pile that holds its colour and shape well and gives the cushion its soft-touch surface.
What colour is the piping?
The body is a soft olive green and the piped trim around the edge is a warm ginger, so the contrast outlines the whole cushion clearly.
What sizes does it come in?
It is offered as a square in two sizes, 45 x 45cm and 55 x 55cm, so you can pick a neat accent or a larger, more prominent cushion.
Does the cover come off?
There is a concealed zip along one edge, kept out of sight so the piped border stays unbroken, which lets you remove the cover from the pad.
Will it work with patterned cushions?
Yes, a plain velvet cushion is ideal for steadying a mix, and the ginger piping gives you a warm accent to echo elsewhere in the grouping.
