de Le Cuona | Limestone Cushion with Fringe Detail – Pumice

The Limestone cushion is a quiet, tactile piece, finished with a fringe detail that gives the edge some movement without turning it into a feature. Pumice is a soft, mineral grey-beige, the colour of dry stone, and it sits between warm and cool in a way that settles easily into most schemes. At 60 cm it is a generous size, larger than the usual scatter cushion, and it reads as a proper piece of upholstery rather than an afterthought. The fringe catches the light and casts a faint shadow, which is where most of its interest comes from.

We list it by the single cushion, and it measures 60 cm in width. Pumice is the colourway shown here, and the Limestone name tells you what to expect from the surface: a calm, slightly stony look that stays low in contrast. We have not been given a fibre breakdown or a rub count for this piece, so we would treat it as a decorative cushion for ordinary domestic use rather than something to be sat on heavily. Do ask us if you need further detail before you buy.

We tend to use cushions of this size in pairs at either end of a sofa, or as a single large cushion against the arm of a chair where a smaller one would look lost. It works well on a window seat, where the fringe can hang over the edge of the cushion pad, and on the end of a bed, layered over a plain linen throw. Pumice pairs easily with oatmeal linens, dark oak and the greys in a stone floor. We would put it beside a more graphic cushion to give the eye somewhere quiet to rest.

A few practical notes. Measure your sofa or seat before you order, because a 60 cm cushion needs a deep seat and a wide arm to sit comfortably, and on a shallow sofa it will dominate. Fringe is best left to hang naturally, so plump the cushion and shake the edge out rather than pressing it flat. Keep it out of strong direct sun where you can, and brush it gently rather than rubbing, so the fringe keeps its shape. If you are building a scheme around it, order a matching cloth sample first.
