de Le Cuona | Haiku Panel Throw – Straw/Paper

The Haiku Panel Throw is built from panels, and the name suggests the discipline of its design: a few considered elements, nothing more. Straw and Paper are the two tones in the colourway, both pale and natural, one a little warmer and the other a little cooler, so the panels read as a soft, low-contrast composition rather than as bold stripes. The effect is gentle and orderly. It gives a plain surface some structure without adding colour, which is just what we want from a throw in a restrained room.

Our information is brief, and we would rather say so than fill the gaps. This is the de Le Cuona Haiku Panel Throw in Straw/Paper, reference HAIK5T, sold each, and it is 140 cm wide. We have not been given the fibre content, the length or where it is made. If any of that matters to your choice, particularly if you want to know how it is likely to feel or wear, please ask us and we will confirm it with the maker before you buy.

We would put it over the end of a bed in a pale bedroom, where the panels pick up the lines of a headboard or panelled wall and give the bed a defined edge. On a sofa in a sitting room it works folded once over the arm, especially with linen or boucle upholstery in a similar family of tones. We would also keep one in a guest room, laid across a chair. For pairing, we like it with limed oak, stone, soft whites and a single deeper accent such as olive or charcoal.

As a throw it arrives ready to use, so there is no making up to plan. Please check the care label before cleaning, and until you have it, assume gentle treatment: spot clean where possible, avoid strong direct sun, and store it folded flat. Pale throws show marks more readily than dark ones, so we would keep it away from the places where cups and pets are most likely to settle, and fold the panels so the pattern sits visibly.
