Description
This is a 45 x 45cm square cushion woven from 65% jute and 35% cotton, and the two fibres are what give it its character. Bands of natural jute run in fine stripes across the face, spaced by rows of woven cotton, so the surface is textured rather than flat. Jute is a coarse, strong plant fibre with a warm sandy tone and a slightly hairy finish; cotton is soft and smooth. Set side by side in this striped weave, they read as ridge after ridge of colour and texture, the tan of the jute against the pale cream of the cotton.
A 45cm square is the standard cushion size, which makes this an easy one to place. It sits well on a sofa, a reading chair or the end of a bed, and it pairs naturally with other neutral and earthy textiles rather than fighting them. The look is relaxed and unfussy, at home in a pared-back Scandi-leaning scheme or anywhere you want to bring a natural, outdoor fibre indoors. Because the palette stays within sand, tan and cream, it layers happily with linen-toned throws, wood and stone.
The face carries the striped jute and cotton weave; the reverse is a plain cotton panel, smooth against the textured front. It closes with a zip, so the cover comes off the pad when you need it to. Jute and cotton are both natural fibres, and the coarse jute in particular means this is a cushion to enjoy for its texture rather than to treat as a soft, brushed surface. It is one of several cushions in the wider Organik range, which run through the same sandy jute and cream cotton family in different weaves and stripes, so they group together well on a bench or sofa.

Frequently Asked
What is this cushion made from?
The cover is 65% jute and 35% cotton, two natural plant fibres, with the jute forming the tan stripes and the cotton the paler rows and the reverse.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, it has a zip closure along one edge, so you can take the cover off the pad whenever you need to.
What size is it?
It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square cushion size, which suits a sofa, an armchair or the end of a bed.
Is the surface soft or textured?
The face is a textured woven stripe. Jute is a coarse, strong fibre, so you feel the ridges of the weave rather than a smooth brushed surface.
What does the back feel like?
The reverse is a plain cotton panel, smooth and flat, so the cushion has a soft side and a textured striped side.
What does it go with?
It sits well with other neutral and earthy textiles, wood and stone, and works in a relaxed, natural, Scandi-leaning scheme.
