Willow Bough Jacquard Linen Cushion - Linen

This is a square cushion carrying the Willow Bough pattern, a design drawn from William Morris's fascination with the natural world. The face is a tonal leaf jacquard: unfurling willow leaves woven into the cloth itself rather than printed on top, so the pattern is formed by the weave and catches the light differently as you move around it. On this colourway the ground is a soft warm neutral and the leaves read a shade paler, giving a quiet tone-on-tone effect that reads as texture from across a room and as a full leaf design up close. The face measures 55cm square.

A 55cm cushion is a generous size, the kind that furnishes the back of a sofa or anchors the centre of a bed rather than filling in around smaller scatter cushions. The tonal palette here is deliberately restrained, so it settles into a neutral scheme without competing for attention and gives you a pattern you can live with rather than one you tire of. It sits comfortably with plain linens and warm woods, and it works equally in a living room, on a bench in a hallway, or as the calm anchor in a mixed pile of cushions where the bolder pieces do the shouting.

The jacquard face is woven polyester, which holds the raised leaf detail crisply and stands up to daily use and leaning against. The cushion is finished with a piped trim running the full edge, which gives the seam a defined line and helps the cushion keep its square shape, and a zip closure along one side so the cover comes off when you need it to. The reverse is a plain woven face in the same tone, so the cushion looks considered from either side. It belongs to the wider Willow Bough range if you want to build the look out further.

Is the leaf pattern printed or woven in?

It is woven in as a jacquard, so the leaves are formed by the weave itself and stand slightly raised from the ground rather than sitting flat as a print would.

What size is this cushion?

The face measures 55cm square, which is a generous size well suited to the back of a sofa or the centre of a bed rather than a small scatter cushion.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one side, so you can take the cover off the pad whenever you need to.

What is the cushion made from?

The cover is 100% polyester woven as a jacquard, which holds the raised leaf detail crisply and stands up well to daily use.

What does the piped trim do?

The piping runs the full edge of the cushion, giving the seam a defined line and helping the cover hold its square shape over time.

Is the reverse patterned too?

No, the reverse is a plain woven face in the same soft tone, so the cushion looks tidy whichever way it falls.
