Description
This shaggy Highland cow cushion gives a sofa or armchair a friendly face to come home to. It is a square cushion covered all over in long, tousled brown pile, front and back, so it looks just as fluffy from every side. A pair of curved, darker brown horns rises from the top corners, with small ears tucked beneath them and their pale insides peeping out from the fringe. Round black eyes peer through the pile, and a smooth, pale pinky-beige muzzle with two little brown nostrils sits low on the front, giving it the gentle, slightly bashful look the Highland cow is loved for. It measures 43.9cm wide, 36cm deep and 16.5cm high.
It is happiest where people settle in. Propped at the end of a sofa, set against the pillows on a bed or tucked into a reading chair, it brings warmth and a little humour to a living room, bedroom or snug. It suits a cottage window seat or a farmhouse kitchen bench just as well as a modern flat that could do with some cheer, and its brown tones sit comfortably beside wool throws, tweed, natural wood and creamy neutrals. Because the back is just as shaggy as the front, it looks finished from whichever way it ends up facing.
We have kept it simple: a square cushion, a friendly face and a long pile that invites a stroke every time someone sits down. To keep it looking its best, give it a gentle shake to plump it up now and then, and smooth the pile with your hand so the fringe falls back into place. For a relaxed look, set it in the middle of the sofa between two plain cushions in cream or rust and let the cow take centre stage. It makes a cheerful gift too, and it raises a smile the moment it comes out of the wrapping.
