Olsen Geometric Polyester Cushion - Pink Pop

The Olsen cushion is a square scatter cushion knitted from feather yarn, a soft, high-loft polyester spun to sit somewhere between chunky knit and plush pile. The face carries a bold geometric pattern of interlocking angled blocks in hot pink and warm rust, and the pattern runs on both sides, so the cushion looks the same however it lands on the sofa. It is a single 45cm square size, which is the standard scatter measurement most cushion pads and covers are cut to, so replacements and coordinating pieces are easy to find.

This is a cushion for a room that wants a lift of colour rather than a quiet accent. The pink and rust combination sits happily against pale timber, cream walls and neutral bedding, and it reads as warm rather than cold next to a soft yellow or a natural linen backdrop. Drop it on a plain sofa, a reading chair or across the head of a bed where you want something to break up a run of solid colour. At 45cm it is large enough to lean back against and small enough to group two or three together without crowding the seat.

The cover is 100% polyester throughout, which is what gives the feather yarn its springy, brushed softness and keeps the colour bright wash after wash, as synthetic fibres hold dye well and do not fade the way some natural fibres can. A zip closure runs along one edge so the cover comes off the pad for cleaning and goes back on without fuss. The double-sided knit means no wrong side to hide, and because the pattern is geometric rather than directional it works whichever way up you set it. Style it on its own for a single hit of colour or pair it with a plainer knit in the same pink to build a layered, tonal group.

Is the pattern on both sides of the cushion?

Yes, the geometric design is knitted double-sided, so both faces carry the same pattern and there is no plain reverse to hide from view.

How soft is the feather yarn?

Feather yarn is a high-loft polyester spun for a plush, brushed feel, giving the cushion a soft, springy surface rather than a flat woven finish.

Can I remove the cover to clean it?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge so the cover slips off the pad and back on again when you need to freshen it up.

What size is this cushion?

It is a 45 by 45cm square, the standard scatter cushion size, which makes it easy to match with pads and other covers cut to the same measurement.

What colours are in the design?

The pattern combines a bright hot pink with a warm rust, arranged in interlocking angled blocks across the whole face of the cushion.
