Description
This is The Ultimate Stripe cushion, a 45 x 45cm square worked in a soft velvet jacquard. The stripe is not printed on but woven in, so the design comes from the way the pile catches the light rather than from any surface pattern. That is what gives it the shifting, tone-on-tone effect you can see in the photograph: broad bands of pale and slightly deeper green that read as a gentle stripe from across the room and as a change in texture up close. The finish is matt, so it sits quietly rather than shining.
A 45 x 45cm square is the workhorse size for cushions, which makes this an easy one to place. It sits well at the corners of a sofa, propped against the arm, or stacked with a plainer cushion behind it for depth. The soft green tones are undemanding and pair readily with neutrals, other greens or a warmer accent, so you can build a group around it or drop it in as a single addition. It suits a living room sofa, a reading chair or the head of a bed equally well.
The cover is double-sided, so the same woven stripe runs across both faces and you can turn it over for a quick change of face when one side has seen more use. A zip closure runs along one edge, which means the cover comes off when you want to freshen it. Velvet has a directional pile, so it responds to the light and to a smoothing hand, and the woven construction keeps the stripe crisp where a printed one would soften over time. Style it with plain weaves to let the stripe do the talking, or mix it with other patterns if you prefer a busier gather.

Frequently Asked
Is the stripe printed or woven into the fabric?
It is woven in as a jacquard, so the pattern comes from the pile itself rather than a surface print, which keeps it crisp over time.
What size is this cushion?
It measures 45 by 45 centimetres, the standard square size, which makes it easy to pair with other cushions or covers you already own.
Can I take the cover off?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover comes away from the pad when you want to freshen things up.
Is the same design on both sides?
It is double-sided, so the woven stripe runs across both faces and you can turn it over for a quick change when one side has seen more use.
What does the velvet feel like?
It has a soft pile with a matt finish, so it feels plush to the touch without any shine, and the surface shifts gently with the light.
