This is a finished cushion in de Le Cuona's Forage Cloth, in the colour Gull, edged with a fringe. Gull is a soft, light grey with a little warmth in it, the sort of shade that reads as neutral in daylight and slightly stone-coloured by lamp. The fringing gives the edge some movement and weight, so the cushion has a definite outline without needing a pattern or a contrasting piping. It is a quiet object, and we like it for exactly that reason.
The facts are simple. It is a cushion by de Le Cuona, reference FOR6C, sold each, and it measures 45 cm in width. Because it is a finished piece and not cloth by the metre, you are buying the cushion itself and not a length to be made up. We do not have the composition, filling or country of making to quote for this one, so ask us if any of that affects your decision, particularly if you are sensitive to feather or down.
We would use it where a room needs a layer of softness that does not compete with the furniture. Two or three along the back of a sofa in a darker cloth, where the pale grey lifts the arrangement. One at the head of a bed against white or natural linen, or a pair on a window seat in a bay. It sits comfortably with oatmeal, charcoal and deeper blues, and it is a good companion to a heavier plain, such as a wool or a mohair, where the fringe adds a lighter note.
A 45 cm cushion suits a standard sofa or a single bed pillow arrangement, but check the depth of your seat so the cushion sits comfortably without crowding the sitter. Because of the fringe, we would keep it away from places where it will be dragged or sat on repeatedly, and give it a regular plump and a gentle shake to keep the edge falling neatly. For cleaning, follow the care label and have anything stubborn treated by a specialist.
