Hamlet Printed Polyester Cushion - Graphite

Description

DescriptionThe Hamlet cushion carries a foil print across a graphite grey ground, the metallic pattern breaking into a fine, cracked texture that catches the light as you move past it. The face is woven from 100% polyester, and the photograph shows a shimmer that shifts between pale silver and deeper charcoal depending on the angle of the light. It is a 50 by 50cm square, a generous size that holds its shape well against the back of a sofa or an armchair.
A cushion in this palette sits comfortably in a living room built around greys and silvers, and the reflective print gives it a role as the piece that lifts an otherwise flat scheme. It works on a sofa alongside plainer cushions in solid charcoal or dove grey, where the foil pattern does the talking and the others provide the calm around it. On a bed it reads as an accent at the head of a run of pillows rather than the main event. Because the design is tonal rather than colourful, it suits a room where you want interest in the texture rather than a strong colour.
The cover is finished with standard knife edging, a clean seamed edge with no piping or flange, and closes with a hidden zip so the fastening stays out of sight. Polyester is hard-wearing and holds a printed pattern well, which is what lets the foil design stay crisp through everyday use. The metallic face means the light and the fold of the fabric are part of the effect, so a gentle plump rather than a hard karate chop keeps the print looking its best.

Frequently AskedWhat is the foil print made from?
It is a metallic foil design applied to a woven polyester face, giving a shimmer that shifts between silver and charcoal as the light and your position change.
How big is the cushion?
The cover measures 50 by 50cm, a full square size that sits well against the back of a sofa or an armchair rather than as a small scatter cushion.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a hidden zip along one edge so you can remove the cover, and the zip stays out of sight once the cushion is plumped.
What colours does it work with?
The graphite grey ground and silver foil sit naturally with charcoal, dove grey and other cool neutrals, letting the metallic pattern lift a tonal scheme.
Is polyester a hard-wearing choice for a cushion?
Polyester is durable and holds a printed pattern well, which is what keeps the foil design crisp through the plumping and everyday handling a cushion gets.
