de Le Cuona | Haiku Panel Throw – Husk/Paper

The Haiku Panel Throw is a throw built from panels, and the name tells you how it behaves. Rather than one flat field of colour, the surface is divided into softly contrasting sections, which gives the piece a quiet structure without any pattern in the usual sense. In Husk/Paper the two tones sit very close together, a warm, dry neutral against a paler, chalkier one. It reads as a soft geometry when laid flat and settles into gentle folds when it is draped.

It is sold each, and the width is 140 cm. That is a generous, usable size for a throw, wide enough to cover a lap or fold across the foot of a bed without looking like a scarf. We have not been given a composition, a length or a care label for this piece, so we would ask you to check those details with us before you plan around them, particularly if you need to know how it should be cleaned.

We tend to use a throw like this to finish a bed rather than to decorate it. Folded in thirds across the foot of a bed dressed in plain linen, it adds a second tone without adding noise. It also works over the arm of a sofa or the back of a reading chair, where the panelled structure shows well when the throw is half folded. We would pair Husk/Paper with oatmeal, stone and soft white, and with a darker cushion nearby to give the eye somewhere to land.

Because it is a finished piece, there is no making up to arrange. Our practical advice is about placement. Lay it out flat before deciding how to fold it, so the panel lines fall where you want them rather than being lost in a crumple. Keep it away from strong direct sun when it is draped over a chair beside a window, as a pale neutral will show any fading unevenly. When you are not using it, store it folded, not hung.
