Description
The Metro Diamond cushion leads with its face: a jacquard velvet worked into a repeating diamond grid, where each little diamond is cut in a different colour against a deep teal ground. Pink, orange, navy, pale sage and a darker teal all take their turn, so the pattern reads as busy and cheerful up close and settles into a confident geometric block from across the room. It is a rectangular cushion at 35 x 50cm, a lumbar shape rather than a square, which is the size to reach for when you want support at the small of your back or a horizontal accent along the seat of a sofa.
This is a cushion that wants to be the loud one in the group. It suits a plain sofa or armchair that needs waking up, and it holds its own against solid velvets in teal, green or a warm neutral, which is where the sample photograph places it beside a matching plain teal cushion. Because the palette carries pink and orange as well as the cooler blues and greens, it bridges a lot of schemes: sit it with warmer accents to pull out the orange, or with cool ones to lean on the teal and sage. The lumbar proportion means it layers in front of larger square cushions rather than competing with them.
The front is velvet jacquard, so the coloured diamonds sit as raised pile against the flatter ground and catch the light differently as you move past. The reverse is a plain teal velvet, smooth and unpatterned, and there is a zip closure along one edge so the cover comes off for washing. The edges are finished knife-edge, a clean seamed edge with no piping or flange, which keeps the look simple and lets the pattern do the talking. It is made from polyester throughout, which holds colour well and wears hard.

Frequently Asked
What size cushion is this and what shape?
It measures 35 x 50cm, a rectangular lumbar shape rather than a square, which suits back support or a horizontal accent on a sofa or bed.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge so you can remove the cover from the pad when you need to launder it.
Is the pattern on both sides?
No, the multicoloured diamond jacquard is on the front only. The reverse is a plain, smooth teal velvet with no pattern.
What is the cushion made from?
It is 100% polyester, both the velvet face and the plain reverse, which keeps its colour well and stands up to everyday use.
What does knife-edge finish mean?
It is a plain seamed edge with no piping or flange, so the cushion has a clean, simple outline that lets the pattern lead.
