Description
The Savoy Stripe cushion is a 50 x 50cm square with a raised, ridged front. The face is worked in cut velvet, so the surface reads as a run of parallel stripes that catch the light differently along their length, some ribs bright, some shaded. It is made from 100% polyester, and the reverse is a plain, smooth velvet in the same warm brick orange as the front. That combination, textured on one side and flat on the other, gives you two faces to choose from once it is on the sofa.
A square cushion in this size sits comfortably at the back of a sofa or an armchair, and pairs happily with smaller lumbar or bolster shapes in front of it. The brick tone is a warm, burnt orange that works alongside creams, deep browns and other earthy shades, so it earns its place in a living room that leans towards natural colour rather than cool greys. On a bed it works as a top-of-pile accent against plainer bedding. Because both faces are usable, you can turn the ribbed side out when you want the texture to show and the plain side out when you want the colour to do the talking.
The cover closes with a zip, so it comes off for cleaning without any fuss. Polyester velvet holds its pile well and resists creasing, which is part of why it wears so evenly over time. The cut-stripe front gives the cushion its depth and character, and the raised ribs are what you feel first when you pick it up. If you like the texture, it is an easy one to buy in a pair for symmetry at either end of a sofa.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion the same on both sides?
No. The front carries the raised cut velvet stripe, while the reverse is a plain, smooth velvet in the same brick orange, so you can choose which face to show.
What does the zip closure mean for cleaning?
The zip lets you take the cover off completely, which makes it far easier to clean and to manage than a cushion sealed on all sides.
What is the cushion made from?
It is 100% polyester in a velvet weave. Polyester velvet holds its pile well, resists creasing and keeps its shape through everyday use on a sofa or bed.
How big is the cushion?
It is a 50 x 50cm square, a standard size that sits well at the back of a sofa or an armchair and pairs neatly with smaller cushions in front.
What colour is it?
It is a warm brick orange, a burnt tone that sits comfortably alongside creams, deep browns and other earthy, natural shades in a room.
