Description
This pink cotton cushion carries a bold tiger print. Rows of striped tigers, with raised paws and curling tails, run over wide bands in two shades of pink, and lines of running stitch trace down the bands, so the front has a soft, worked texture as well as a pattern. A fringe trims all four edges and frames the print like the border of a small rug. The fabric is 87% cotton, 8% viscose and 5% lyocell, a woven fabric with a printed design, and the cushion comes filled with 100% polyester. It measures 45cm long and 45cm tall, a square of a generous everyday size, and weighs 0.65KG.
At this size it suits an armchair, the end of a sofa or a window seat, where one patterned cushion brings warmth and pattern into a plainer room. Against a velvet or corduroy chair the pink lifts straight away, and on a neutral sofa it is the first thing the eye finds. It sits just as happily on a bed among plainer cushions, or on a bench in a hallway or a reading nook. Because the print is busy, it pairs best with solid fabrics or simple stripes, so we would let it be the liveliest thing on the seat.
The maker gives a machine wash at 40 degrees, a low tumble dry and a medium iron, so it goes in the washing machine at home with the rest of your household textiles. The front is a woven fabric with a print, finished with the running stitch and the fringed edge, while the back is plain, so the cushion can sit either way round when the pattern needs a rest. For styling, set it upright in the corner of an armchair, angled slightly, so the fringe frames the print and the tigers face into the room.
