Description
This is a velvet cushion built around a bold diamond pattern, worked as a jacquard so the design is woven into the pile rather than printed on top. The front carries rows of soft squares set on the diagonal, in a mix of teal, orange, sage, cream and off-white, all against a deeper teal-green ground. The reverse is plain, smooth velvet in a soft sage, so you can turn it depending on how much of the pattern you want on show. It measures 35 x 50cm, a bolster-style rectangle rather than a square, which makes it a natural lumbar cushion for the small of your back.
The rectangular shape earns its keep on a sofa or a deep armchair, where a lumbar cushion supports you at a more useful height than a square one. Layer it in front of larger plain cushions and let the pattern do the talking, or pair it with a solid velvet in one of the tones it already contains, the teal or the burnt orange, to pull a scheme together. It suits a modern living room where you want one piece to bring some colour and movement without taking over the whole seat.
Velvet gives it that dense, light-catching pile, and because the pattern is jacquard woven the raised and flat areas shift as the light moves across them. There is a zip along one edge, so the cover comes off cleanly for washing and goes back on without a fuss. The knife-edge seam keeps the outline crisp and simple, letting the pattern be the point. Follow the care guidance on the sewn-in label, and if you like this one, look across the wider Metro Diamond range for matching pieces.

Frequently Asked
Is the cover removable for cleaning?
Yes, there is a durable zip along one edge, so you can take the cover off completely for washing and slide it back on afterwards.
What is the cushion made from?
It is 100% polyester velvet, which gives a dense, soft pile that catches the light and holds its colour well over time.
What size is this cushion and what shape?
It measures 35 x 50cm, so it is a rectangular lumbar shape rather than a square, useful for supporting the lower back.
Is the back the same pattern as the front?
No, the front carries the diamond jacquard design and the reverse is plain smooth velvet in a soft sage, so you can turn it either way.
Where does this cushion work best?
It suits a sofa or a deep armchair, layered in front of larger plain cushions or paired with a solid velvet in one of its own tones.
