Metro Abstract Jacquard Velvet Cushion - Ginger

The Metro Abstract cushion sets a bold geometric jacquard face against a plain velvet reverse, and it is that contrast that makes it. The front carries an abstract pattern of drops, dots and hourglass shapes worked in rust, ochre, teal and denim blue over a cream ground, while the back is a single warm ginger velvet. Both faces are velvet, so the cushion reads as texture first and pattern second, catching the light differently as you move past it. It measures 40 x 60cm, a rectangular lumbar shape rather than a square, which is the size that props comfortably in the small of your back.

This is a cushion for the sofa and the reading chair, somewhere you want a warm accent that holds its own. The rectangular format sits well laid in front of larger square cushions or leaning into the arm of a sofa, and the ginger and blue palette works with mustard, olive and other earthy upholstery as readily as it lifts a plain neutral seat. Because one side is patterned and one is plain, you can turn it to suit the day: full pattern when you want the room to have a focal point, plain ginger when you want it calmer. Layer it with plainer velvets in the same warm family and it anchors a group without shouting over them.

It is made from a durable velvet jacquard, woven so the pattern is part of the cloth rather than printed on top, which is why the colours sit at slightly different heights and hold their depth. The cover finishes with a neat knife edge and a simple zip closure, so it comes off easily when you need it to. Velvet has a pile that catches light and shows its direction, so a gentle brush along the nap keeps it looking even. It is a warm, tactile piece that earns its place on a well-dressed seat.

Is the pattern on both sides of the cushion?

No. The face carries the abstract geometric jacquard pattern, while the reverse is a plain ginger velvet, so you can turn it to show either side.

What is the cushion made from?

It is made from 100% polyester woven as a velvet jacquard, which gives it a soft pile and a pattern that is part of the cloth rather than printed on the surface.

Does the cover come off?

How do I keep the velvet looking even?
