Zurich Jacquard Polyester Cushion - Burgundy

The Zurich cushion carries an opulent floral jacquard across a deep burgundy ground, with sinuous stems, layered blooms and touches of green and gold woven right into the cloth rather than printed on top. It is a square cushion, 45cm by 45cm, made from 100% polyester. Being a jacquard, the pattern is formed on the loom, which is why the flowers have that raised, tactile relief you can feel under your hand as well as see. The design is reversible, so the same pattern reads on both faces and you can flip the cushion as it settles.

This is a cushion for the more traditional room, and it earns its place on a leather or dark-wood sofa, a wing chair or the corner of a bed. The rich burgundy and the classic English floral suit deep, warm interiors, and it sits comfortably against plain velvets or against the browns and greens picked out in the weave. Group two or three for a fuller look, or set one against lighter linen upholstery where the depth of colour does the work on its own.

The edges are finished with a colour-matched piped trim, which gives the cushion its crisp square shape and helps the corners hold. A small, discreet zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover can be taken off. Made from 100% polyester, the cover is hard-wearing and resists staining, which is a practical point for a cushion that lives on a well-used sofa. The Zurich pattern is also made to match Zurich curtains, throws and a draught excluder, so the room can be pulled together across several pieces if you want it.

Is the floral pattern woven or printed?

It is a jacquard, which means the pattern is woven into the cloth on the loom. That gives the blooms a raised, textured feel rather than a flat printed surface.

Can I use both sides of the cushion?

Yes. The design is reversible, so the same floral pattern appears on both faces and you can turn it over as it wears or simply to freshen the look.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes. There is a small, discreet zip closure along one edge so the cover can be removed from the pad when you need to.

What size is this cushion?

It is a square 45cm by 45cm, a standard scatter cushion size that suits most sofas, armchairs and beds without overwhelming the seat.

What does the piped edge do?

The colour-matched piping runs around the perimeter and gives the cushion a crisp, defined square shape while helping the corners keep their form over time.

Will it match other Zurich pieces?

Yes. The Zurich pattern is made to coordinate with Zurich curtains, throws and a draught excluder, so you can carry the design across the room.
