Description
The Tierra cushion carries a cut velvet abstract design, its raised pattern rising and falling in soft peaks across a plain velvet ground. The pile catches the light so the pattern shifts as you move past it, the higher cut areas holding a sheen while the flatter ground stays quieter. The face here is a warm taupe, a soft mid-beige that reads neutral in most rooms and warms up under lamplight. It is a square cover, 50cm on each side, filled and finished as one piece so it sits full in the hand.
A 50cm square is the standard sofa scatter size, big enough to sit against your back on a two or three-seater and generous enough to soften an armchair or the head of a bed. The taupe face sits happily with other neutrals, with deeper greens and browns, or against a plain velvet sofa where the cut pattern gives the eye something to settle on. Layer it with flatter weaves and a chunkier knit to let the velvet pile do the contrasting work, or group two or three of the same for a settled, quiet look.
The cover is velvet throughout, made from polyester, which is why the pile holds up to daily leaning and squashing and springs back rather than crushing flat. A discreet zip runs along one edge so the cover slips off for cleaning and goes back on without a fuss. Velvet is best kept fresh with a light brush or a gentle vacuum along the pile, and a shake to bring the loft back. The Tierra face comes in several colourways, so if taupe is not quite your room, there are warmer and darker tones in the same cut velvet design.

Frequently Asked
What size cushion is this and what will it suit?
It is a 50cm square, the standard scatter size that sits well on a sofa, an armchair or against the head of a bed.
Is the cover the same on both sides?
Yes, the supplier states it is double-sided, so the cut velvet abstract design appears on both the front and the back.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a discreet zip along one edge, so you can slip the cover off and put it back on without any trouble.
What is the cover made from?
It is 100% polyester cut velvet, a durable pile that holds up to daily use and springs back rather than crushing flat.
How do I keep the velvet looking its best?
A light brush or gentle vacuum along the pile lifts dust, and a shake helps bring the loft back after use.
Why does the pattern seem to shift in the light?
Cut velvet raises some areas of pile above others, so the higher parts catch the light and the pattern appears to change as you move.
