Hamlet Printed Polyester Cushion - Alabaster

Description

Description
The Hamlet cushion is a foil-printed polyester square measuring 50 x 50cm, the size most sofas and armchairs are built around. The face carries a metallic print worked in shimmering shades against a pale cream ground, the effect broken and marbled rather than flat, so the light catches it differently as you move past. It is a made-up cushion, printed and finished in the UK, and the print is the whole point of it: a shine that reads as texture from across a room.

A 50 x 50cm cushion is the workhorse size for a three-seater sofa, a deep armchair or the head of a bed, big enough to lean on and large enough to hold its shape when the others are stacked around it. The soft cream tone and the reflective finish suit neutral rooms where you want interest without colour, sitting easily against beige velvet, natural linen upholstery and warm wood. Group it with plainer weaves and let this one do the shining, or pair two either end of a longer sofa for symmetry.

The cover is made up with a knife edge, the two faces sewn to a clean seam rather than a piped or flanged border, and it closes on a hidden zip so nothing interrupts the print. It is 100% polyester, which holds colour well and keeps its shape through everyday use, making it a sensible choice for a cushion that gets sat against daily. The Hamlet is a single square size in the Alabaster colourway, an easy addition to a scheme built on soft, light neutrals.

Frequently Asked
What size is this cushion and what will it suit?

It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard large square that works on a three-seater sofa, a deep armchair or across the head of a bed.

How does the cover close?

It fastens with a hidden zip, so the fastening sits out of sight along one edge and does not break up the printed face.

What is a knife edge?

A knife edge means the two faces are sewn together to a plain, clean seam, with no piping or flange, giving the cushion a crisp square shape.

What is the cover made from?

The cover is 100% polyester, which holds its colour and keeps its shape well through everyday use around the home.

Does the metallic finish suit a neutral room?

Yes, the reflective foil print adds shine and depth to soft, light schemes without adding a strong colour, so it sits well with cream and beige.
