Metro Harlequin Jacquard Velvet Cushion - Ginger

The Metro Harlequin cushion carries a bold geometric harlequin diamond pattern woven as a velvet jacquard on its front face. The diamonds run in columns of ginger orange, muted amber, soft blue-grey and cream, some filled solid and others broken into fine horizontal bars, so the surface shifts between flat colour and texture as the light moves across it. It is a square cushion measuring 50 x 50cm, made from 100% polyester, with a plain ginger velvet reverse that lets you turn it over for a quieter look whenever the pattern feels like too much.

This is a cushion for a sofa or an armchair that needs a lift of colour and shape. The mix of warm ginger and amber against cooler blue-grey means it sits happily on both warm neutral upholstery and cooler blue or grey seating, and the second photograph shows it working against a soft blue velvet sofa. Group it with plain velvet cushions in one of its own tones, or let it be the patterned piece among calmer companions. At 50 x 50cm it is a generous size that holds its own in the corner of a larger sofa rather than getting lost.

The front is a woven velvet jacquard, which is why the pattern has depth rather than sitting flat as a print would, and the pile catches light differently across the solid and striped areas. The cover has a knife edge for clean, defined edges and a zip closure so you can take it off for cleaning. The plain velvet back is a practical touch as much as a styling one, giving you two ways to use the same cushion. Being a woven pile, velvet responds well to a gentle shake and a light brush to keep the surface even and lifted.

What is the cushion made from?

The cover is 100% polyester, woven as a velvet jacquard on the front with a plain velvet reverse, so both sides have a soft pile surface.

Is the pattern printed or woven in?

The harlequin diamond design is a velvet jacquard, meaning it is woven into the fabric rather than printed on top, which gives the pattern its texture and depth.

Can I use both sides of the cushion?

Yes. The front carries the geometric pattern and the reverse is plain ginger velvet, so you can turn it over whenever you want a calmer, solid look.

How big is the cushion?

It is a square cushion measuring 50 x 50cm, a generous size that suits a sofa or a larger armchair rather than getting lost among bigger seating.

Does the cover come off?

The cover has a zip closure, so you can remove it easily for cleaning and refit it without difficulty when you are done.

What colours are in the design?

The front mixes ginger orange, warm amber, soft blue-grey and cream in a column of harlequin diamonds, while the reverse is a solid ginger.
