Description
The Metro Blocks cushion is a 45 x 45cm square in a velvet jacquard, carrying an abstract block design of short, brushed rectangles that tumble across the face in pink, orange, teal, navy and sage. It is a jacquard, so the pattern is woven into the pile rather than printed on top, which is why the colours hold their depth and the raised blocks catch the light from different angles. The reverse is a plain teal velvet, drawn from the same palette so the cushion reads well whichever way it lands.
This is a cushion for a room that can take colour. It sits happily on a plain sofa or a neutral bed, where the busy front does the work against a quiet background, and it pairs easily with the solid teal picked out on its reverse. Group it with plainer cushions in one or two of the shades it already contains, so the block print stays the focal point rather than competing. It suits a living room, a reading chair or the head of a bed equally, and the square 45cm size is the standard scale most sofa cushions are cut to, so it slots in beside what you already own.
It is made entirely from polyester, which gives the velvet its durability and its resistance to fading, and keeps it easy to live with day to day. The front and back are joined with a clean knife-edge seam, with no piping or flange to fray, and a zip closure runs along one edge so the cover comes off when you need it to. Being polyester throughout, it shrugs off everyday knocks and holds its shape through regular use. Style it plain-side up for a calmer look, or turn it to the block front when you want the room to lift.

Frequently Asked
Is the pattern printed or woven?
The block design is a velvet jacquard, meaning the pattern is woven into the pile rather than printed on the surface, so the colours keep their depth over time.
What is on the back of the cushion?
The reverse is a plain teal velvet taken from the same palette, so you can turn the cushion for a calmer, solid-colour look whenever you like.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover can be removed from the pad when you need to.
What size is this cushion?
It is a 45 by 45cm square, the standard scale most sofa and bed cushions are made to, so it will sit comfortably beside cushions you already own.
What is it made from?
It is 100% polyester, which gives the velvet its hard-wearing feel and helps it resist fading and hold its shape through regular use.
