Description
This is an outdoor cushion carrying William Morris's Seaweed design, a free-flowing pattern of scrolling fronds and small flowers drawn from the Art Nouveau tradition. On this piece the ground reads as a deep forest green, threaded through with lighter sage and gold foliage and dotted with clusters of coral-orange daisy-like blooms. It measures 50 x 50cm, a full square that holds its shape on a garden bench or a broad seat, and it is made from 100% polyester with a matching piped trim running the whole way round the edge.
It is built for outside. The fabric is treated for outdoor use and described as water-resistant, so it earns its place on a patio chair, a garden sofa or a bench where the weather comes and goes, rather than being packed away at the first shower. The forest-green ground and coral flowers sit happily against timber, dark metal frames and planting, and the square 50cm size pairs well with a second cushion in a companion colourway if you want to build up a stack. Indoors it works just as well on a reading chair or across a window seat, wherever a little pattern earns its keep.
The construction is straightforward and practical. A piped trim finishes and defines the edge, and a zip closure runs along one side, which means the cover comes off when you need it to and goes back on without a fight. Polyester is quick to shed water and dries readily, which is exactly what you want from something living outdoors. The Seaweed print is one of several colourways we stock in this design, so you can mix a darker version with a paler one across the same bench and keep the pattern consistent while varying the tone.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion be left outdoors?
Yes. The fabric is treated for outdoor use and is described as water-resistant, so it is made to cope with a garden or patio through changing seasons.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
It does. There is a zip closure along one side, so you can remove the cover when you need to and put it back on easily.
What size is it?
It is a full 50 x 50cm square, a generous size that holds its shape well on a bench, a garden sofa or a broad chair seat.
What is it made from?
The cover is 100% polyester, a fabric that sheds water quickly and dries readily, which is what makes it suited to life outside.
What does the piped trim do?
The piping is a corded edge stitched right around the cushion. It defines the shape, strengthens the seam and gives the cover a neat, finished outline.
Will it work indoors as well?
Yes. Although it is built for outdoor use, the print and square size suit a reading chair, sofa or window seat inside just as well.
