de Le Cuona | Haiku Cushion with Fringe Detail – Straw

The Haiku cushion is a plain, soft-toned accent with a fringe detail along its edge, and it is the fringe that gives it its character. In straw, the colour sits between oatmeal and pale gold, a warm neutral that reads quietly against most upholstery. At 40 cm it is a small cushion, closer to a lumbar or a corner accent than a full scatter. We like pieces like this because they add a change of texture and outline without introducing pattern.

The facts are short. This is the Haiku cushion with fringe detail from de Le Cuona, in the colour straw, SKU HAIK5C. It measures 40 cm in width and is sold by the each, so you order exactly the number you need rather than a pair by default. We have not been given a fibre composition, Martindale rating or place of manufacture for this piece, so please ask us if any of those matter to your project and we will confirm them before you order.

We tend to use a cushion this size at the front of a group, where it can sit forward of larger squares without being lost. On a linen or wool sofa in stone or grey, we would put two in straw at either end and let the fringe catch the light along the arm. On an armchair, one is usually enough. On a bed, it works well as a small layer in front of the pillows. It pairs happily with plain weaves in oatmeal, putty or soft white, and sits well against darker cloth, where the straw lifts the whole arrangement.

Because the cushion arrives made up, there is no pattern matching or railroading to consider, which makes it an easy addition late in a scheme. Do check the 40 cm width against your seating, since it is smaller than most scatter cushions, and order in the quantity the layout calls for. If you are building a group from several pieces, place them together in the room before deciding, as a fringe reads differently in daylight than under lamps. For care, we would advise spot treatment only and a gentle shake to keep the fringe lying straight.
