Description
The Metro Prism cushion pairs a woven velvet jacquard face with a plain velvet reverse, so one side carries the pattern and the other is a smooth block of colour. The face is a bold, interlocking geometric that reads as a maze of linked keys, worked in ginger, teal blue, slate grey and warm cream. It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square size that fills a sofa corner without crowding it. Being made throughout from polyester, the pile has a dense, close feel and holds its colour well.
This is a pattern that wants a plainer backdrop to work against. Set it on a sofa in a solid colour, as shown against soft blue velvet, and the geometry does the talking. It sits happily among other cushions in a mixed group, where the ginger picks up warm tones elsewhere in a room and the blue and grey keep it grounded. The retro feel suits a living room built around mid-century or contemporary pieces, and the reversible construction lets you flip to the plain ginger side when you want the print to rest.
The cover closes with a zip along one edge, so it lifts off cleanly for cleaning and goes back on without a struggle. The knife-edge finish keeps the seams flat and square rather than piped or flanged. Velvet is worth treating gently: check the care guidance before washing, keep it out of prolonged direct sun, and give the pile a smooth with your hand to lift it after use. The jacquard weave means the pattern is built into the cloth rather than printed on top, which is why the colours stay crisp where two shades meet.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion the same on both sides?
No. One side carries the geometric velvet jacquard pattern and the reverse is plain velvet in ginger, so you can turn it to show either face.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes. There is a zip along one edge, so the cover lifts off the pad easily and goes back on without fuss.
What is the cushion made from?
It is made entirely from polyester, woven as a velvet jacquard, which gives it a soft, dense pile with a close, textured feel.
What size is it?
It measures 45 by 45 centimetres, the standard square size that suits a sofa corner or a bed without overwhelming the space.
What is a knife-edge finish?
It means the two faces are seamed straight together at the edge, giving a flat, square outline rather than a piped or flanged border.
