de Le Cuona | Tundra Wool Cushion with Suede Trim – Umber

The Tundra Wool cushion pairs a dense, tactile wool with a suede trim, and the contrast between the two is the whole point of it. The wool has a soft, slightly brushed surface that invites a hand, while the suede edging gives the cushion a clean, defined outline and a little weight. Umber is a deep, warm brown, rich without being heavy, and it reads as a dark neutral rather than a statement colour. On a sofa it adds depth, and it holds its shape well enough to look composed rather than casual.

The cushion is by de Le Cuona, reference TUW3C, and it is sold singly, so you can build a group at whatever scale suits the seat. It measures 55 cm in width, which makes it a generous size, large enough to sit comfortably against the back of a sofa or a bed without looking lost. We have not been given a filling type or a country of making for this piece, so please ask us for those details if they matter to your project. The materials are wool with suede trim, in the colour Umber.

We like to use one or two of these at the corners of a sofa in a pale or mid-toned linen, where the dark wool grounds the arrangement and stops it looking washed out. They also work well on an armchair in a reading corner, or stacked at the head of a bed in front of plain white or oatmeal bedding. For pairing, we would set Umber beside a rust or tobacco velvet, a cream bouclé and a plain linen in a slightly different tone, keeping the textures varied and the colours close.

Because the cushion is sold singly, it is easy to add to over time, and we would suggest buying the full group at once so that the colour and trim are consistent. Check that 55 cm suits the depth of your seat, as a cushion of this size works best on a sofa or bed with some room behind it. Suede and wool both prefer gentle care, so we would keep the cushion away from direct heat and strong sunlight, and brush it lightly rather than rubbing. Ask us for the care instructions that came with the piece before you clean it.
