The Strata cushion is finished with a fringe, and the fringe is what gives it character. Instead of a clean seam, the edge softens into a short run of loose threads that moves slightly when the cushion is handled and catches the light along the line. Granite is a mid-to-dark grey with a cool, mineral quality, and it sits happily between true charcoal and a lighter stone. In a room the cushion reads as a quiet, tactile accent, with just enough detail to reward a closer look.
Strata is 55 cm wide and is sold individually, which makes it easy to build a group at whatever count the seat suits. It is supplied as a finished cushion, made up and ready to use, so there is no wait for a workroom. At 55 cm it is a generous size, large enough to anchor one end of a sofa or fill the back of an armchair without disappearing. The fringe adds a little visual width to the outline, so it tends to look slightly fuller than the measurement alone suggests.
We would put Strata on a pale linen or oatmeal sofa, where Granite adds depth and gives the eye somewhere to rest. It also works well on a leather armchair, where the fringe softens a harder surface, and at the end of a bed against crisp white linen. For pairing, we like it with a plainer cushion in a lighter grey or warm taupe, and with something in a heavier weave, so that texture rather than pattern carries the group.
The practical care is mostly about the fringe. Keep it combed and straight by running your fingers through it when you tidy, and avoid pulling at loose strands, which can unravel if caught. Do not let the cushion become a permanent head rest, as fringes flatten and tangle with constant pressure. Keep it away from pets that like to chew threads, and from strong direct sun, which can fade a grey over time. A gentle shake and plump will keep the shape.
