Description
The Soren cushion carries an abstract geometric pattern worked into cut velvet, so the design is felt as much as seen. The raised velvet lines and the flatter woven ground catch the light differently, which is why the maze-like motif shifts as you move past it or as the daylight changes through the day. This is a 45cm square cushion in slate blue, a muted grey-blue that reads cool and calm rather than bright. The face is patterned; the reverse, as the photographs show, is a plain slate blue velvet with no pattern at all.
A 45cm square is the standard sofa cushion size in the UK, which makes this an easy one to place. It sits comfortably against a large three or four seater, works in a pair at either end, or holds its own as a single accent on an armchair or a bedroom chair. The pattern is busy but the colour is quiet, so it does the work of adding texture and interest without shouting over the rest of the room. It suits a neutral sofa in linen or oatmeal tones, and the wider Soren range runs across other colourways if you want to build a mix.
The cushion is made from 100% polyester, which is the reason the velvet pile stays plump and holds its colour with very little fuss. A zip closure runs along one edge so the cover can be taken off the insert when it needs freshening. Because the pile is cut velvet, the surface will show the direction it is brushed, and a light smoothing by hand settles it back down. Style it alongside the amber, green and cream versions in the same range for a layered look, or keep it single for a more restrained finish.

Frequently Asked
Is the pattern on both sides of the cushion?
No. The abstract geometric pattern is on the front face only. The reverse is a plain slate blue velvet, so you can turn it for a quieter look.
What size is this cushion and what does it suit?
It is a 45cm square, the standard UK sofa cushion size, which sits well on a three or four seater sofa, an armchair or a bedroom chair.
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester in a cut velvet weave, which keeps the pile plump, holds the colour well and gives the surface its soft, light-catching texture.
Does the cover come off?
Yes. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover can be removed from the insert when you want to freshen it up.
Why does the colour look different across the cushion?
Cut velvet shows the direction its pile is brushed, so light and shade shift across the surface. Smoothing it by hand settles the pile back down.
