The Strata cushion is a considered piece of soft furnishing, and the Palm colourway is a muted, leafy green that sits well away from anything bright or tropical. The fringe detail is what gives the cushion its character. It breaks the clean outline of the square and catches the light along one edge, so the cushion reads as a made object rather than a plain block of colour. It is a quiet piece, and it works hard in a restrained room.
Strata is supplied as a finished cushion from de Le Cuona, sold each and measuring 55 cm wide. That is a generous scale, closer to a full-sized scatter than a small accent cushion, and it holds its own against the arm and back of a large sofa. We have not been given a fibre content or filling specification for this piece, so please ask us before ordering if you need those details for a particular project or for a client with specific requirements.
We tend to use the Palm cushion in pairs at either end of a linen or wool sofa, where the fringe gives a little movement against a plain upholstered line. It also suits a window seat, layered with a bolster or a smaller cushion in a close tone, and works at the foot or head of a bed against white or oatmeal bedlinen. For pairing, we would keep it with natural stone, oak and warm neutrals, and let the green sit as the single note of colour.
For a piece like this, the practical advice is simple. Place the cushions where the fringe can hang freely and is not trapped against a wall or pressed flat by other pillows. A fringed edge is best kept tidy with a gentle shake and a light brush rather than heavy handling. If you are building a larger scheme, order the cushions together so the colour and finish are consistent, and ask us for a sample or further detail on care before committing to a full set.
