Description
The Neptune cushion is a 50 x 50cm square in soft polyester velvet, and its face carries a small geometric design worked into the pile. Look closely and you can see the pattern is a raised honeycomb of rounded dots set within a fine diamond grid, so the design is felt in the texture as much as it is seen. In silver grey, the effect is quiet rather than loud: the light catches the raised dots and shifts as you move past, which is how velvet earns its depth.
At 50 x 50cm this is a generous square, the size that anchors the corner of a sofa or sits at the centre of a made bed. It is large enough to lean into and full enough to hold its shape when propped. The neutral silver grey means it works against a dark sofa or a pale one, and it layers happily with cushions in stronger colours or with other soft textures. Use it where you want a little richness without a strong colour, a living room seat or the head of a bed both suit it well.
The cover is velvet with a plain velvet border framing the patterned centre, and it closes with a zip, so the cover comes off for cleaning and the cushion keeps a clean, neat edge with no visible fastening. Velvet is a pile fabric, which is what gives it that soft hand and the way it plays with light; brushing the pile in one direction settles the look after handling. As a plain, textured square in a neutral tone it is easy to build a scheme around and simple to refresh later.
