Description
The Tierra cushion is a 50cm square in cut velvet, and the cut pile is what gives the pattern its life. The abstract, marbled design is worked so that the raised velvet catches the light while the flatter woven ground reads paler and quieter, so the whole face shifts as you move past it or as the light changes through the day. Here it comes in bronze, a warm russet brown broken by lighter caramel and cream veining that runs across the cloth in soft, restless waves.
A 50cm square is the standard size for a sofa or armchair cushion, big enough to sit against and not so large that it swamps a two-seater. This one earns its place on a plainer sofa in a neutral or a deep green, where the shifting bronze tones give a room some warmth without pulling in a busy print. It works singly on an accent chair or paired up along a longer sofa, and it sits happily with plain velvets and flatweaves in the same warm family. The pattern is the same on both sides, so there is no wrong way to plump it.
The cover is 100% polyester, which is the practical part of the story: polyester holds its colour well, resists everyday creasing and stands up to being sat against day after day. A zip closure is set discreetly into one edge so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on without a fuss. Cut velvet has a direction to its pile, so a gentle brush with your hand settles it back the way you want it. The Tierra pattern is made in several colourways if you are building a warm scheme rather than a single accent.

Frequently Asked
Is the pattern the same on both sides of the cushion?
Yes, it is a double-sided cushion, so the abstract cut velvet design appears on both faces and there is no plain reverse to hide away.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
It does. A zip is set discreetly into one edge, so you can slip the cover off the pad whenever it needs freshening up.
What is the cushion made from?
The cover is 100% polyester woven as a cut velvet, which holds its colour well and copes with being sat against every day.
How big is it and where does it suit best?
It is a 50cm square, the usual size for a sofa or armchair, so it works well on a two-seater, a larger sofa or an accent chair.
How do I keep the velvet looking its best?
Cut velvet has a pile that lies in a direction, so a gentle brush with your hand settles it and keeps the light catching evenly across the design.
