Discover a wool-effect finish with a fur-like texture

This jacquard cushion cover made with cotton and polyester is engineered around one idea: the comfort of wool without wool's fragility. The face is worked to a wool-effect finish that resists wear, handles heat well, repels dust and is easy to clean, four properties that rarely coexist in a soft furnishing. Cotton supplies the breathable base whilst polyester gives the resilience that keeps the surface from matting where people lean. The result is soft and fur-like, smooth under the hand and noticeably warmer to the touch than a flat woven cotton.

Each cover is handcrafted, which means slight variations from one piece to the next in the density and direction of the pile. Catch it in raking light and you will see the nap change tone as it lies one way or the other, the same effect you get on velvet. That movement is what stops a pale textured cushion cover from looking blank across a large sofa. In the 40 x 60 cm rectangular format it reads as a generous lumbar cushion rather than a small accent.

Where a low-maintenance pile earns its place

The dust-repelling, heat-tolerant finish makes this a sensible choice for the places most textured cushions struggle: a sunny window seat, a reading chair beside a radiator, a sofa in daily family use. A fur-like cushion cover that can simply be brushed or wiped clean survives that life in a way a delicate natural pile does not. Brush the nap in one direction after cleaning so the surface settles evenly, and the cushion will look considered rather than ruffled every time you walk past it.

It is designed to be easily combined with the rest of the collection, and the simplest way to use it is as the tactile anchor of a group: one pile-surfaced piece among flat weaves, jacquards and linens. That contrast of finish, rather than contrast of colour, is what gives a restrained Japandi cushion arrangement its interest. The rectangular format also means it works alone on an armchair, where a square cover would crowd the seat and force you to sit forward.
