de Le Cuona | Mackintosh Cushion with Piped Detail – Anthracite

This is a small cushion with a good deal of presence. The Mackintosh cushion from de Le Cuona is finished with a piped edge, which gives it a crisp outline and a slightly tailored look, and in Anthracite it reads as a deep, soft charcoal rather than a hard black. At 35 cm wide it sits at the smaller end of the scale, which makes it useful as an accent in front of larger cushions rather than as a main bolster for the back. The piping holds the shape cleanly and keeps the corners from slumping.

The facts we have are brief. The cushion is by de Le Cuona, reference MAC3C, in the colourway Anthracite, and it is sold individually, so you buy one at a time and build the arrangement yourself. It measures 35 cm in width. We do not have the filling, the exact depth or the fabric composition to hand, so please ask us and we will confirm these for you, along with any care instructions, before you decide how many you need.

We tend to use a cushion this size in a group, with two or three placed together at different scales. On a pale sofa the Anthracite gives a welcome point of weight and keeps a light scheme from floating. On a bed we would set it in front of the larger pillows, perhaps beside one in a lighter linen, so the darker note anchors the arrangement. In a reading chair it works alone, as a lumbar or side cushion, and sits well with oatmeal, stone and warm white.

Being sold each, this is easy to order in the quantity you need, but we would suggest buying the whole set at once so the colour is consistent. Anthracite is a dark shade, so keep it out of strong direct sun for long periods, and turn it regularly so any wear is even. Plump it from the corners and keep the piping straight. For care, please follow the guidance we confirm with your order rather than treating it like a standard cover.
