Description
The Palma is an outdoor cushion built around a hand-painted, printed tonal botanical leaf design, with soft fronds spread across the front of a 43 x 43cm square. It is made from 100% polyester chosen for outdoor life: the fabric is UV-resistant so the colours hold up under summer sun, and water-resistant so a passing shower or a spilled drink does not soak straight in. The face you see here reads as deep green, with the leaves picked out in sage, cream and pale grey; the reverse carries the same drawing in inverted colours, so one cushion gives you two looks.
This is a cushion for the garden, the patio or a covered porch, and it works just as well brought indoors on a conservatory chair or a bench by the back door. Because both faces are finished, you can flip it to change the mood of a seating group without buying a second cushion, and it sits happily alongside plainer weathered-grey or natural seat pads. Group a few together on a rattan sofa, or use a single one to lift a hard bistro chair. The leaf print pairs easily with real greenery and terracotta pots, so it settles into a planted corner rather than fighting it.
Construction is straightforward and made for use outside: a standard knife edge gives it a clean square shape, and a hidden zip keeps the fastening out of sight and lets you take the cover off. Polyester is quick to shed water and easy to keep looking fresh, which is what you want from something that lives outdoors. It is designed, printed and made in the UK. If you like the drawing but want a different mood, the Palma design comes in more than one colourway, so you can mix tones across a set.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion really stay outside?
Yes, it is made from UV and water resistant polyester designed to cope with sunshine, showers and spills, so it suits a patio, garden bench or covered porch.
Is the design the same on both sides?
The cushion is reversible, carrying the same botanical leaf drawing on both faces but with inverted colours, so you get two looks from a single cushion.
How big is the cushion?
It measures 43 x 43cm, a standard square size that fits most outdoor sofas, dining chairs and bench seats without overwhelming them.
Can I take the cover off?
Yes, there is a hidden zip fastening tucked into the seam, so you can remove the cover when you need to and keep the fastening out of sight.
What is the cushion made from?
It is 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fabric that sheds water quickly and holds its colour well, which is why it works for outdoor use.
