Clochard Grunge Dark Red Throw Pillow

Dark red, black and gold weathering on linen-feel polyester, in three sizes. The size choice is the decision that matters most here and it is not really about the cushion, it is about where it is going. Each of the three shapes does a different job and picking on looks alone is how people end up with a cushion that never gets used.

Which Of The Three Sizes You Want

• 18 by 18 inches is the sofa standard. The size most cushions are, so it sits in a row with what you already own without looking mismatched.
• 20 by 12 inches is a lumbar cushion. A long rectangle for the small of the back, used for support rather than decoration, and the one to choose for a reading chair.
• 22 by 22 inches is the large square. For a deep sofa or a bed, where an 18 inch cushion disappears against the back cushions.

Case, Insert And Weight

100% pre-shrunk polyester with a linen feel at 8.1 oz per square yard, hidden zipper, and a shape-retaining insert included in every size. The insert is matched to the case it ships with, so none of the three sizes needs anything bought separately.

Gold On Dark Needs Light To Work

The gold in this design reads as warm ochre rather than metallic, and like any warm tone on a dark ground it depends on the light in the room. In a dim corner it recedes into the dark red; near a window or a lamp it separates and the weathering becomes visible.

Buying More Than One

Clochard Grunge runs across several cushions in different colourways, so a group can be built from one design series rather than from unrelated prints. Mixing an 18 inch square with a 20 by 12 lumbar in the same series is the arrangement that reads as deliberate.

Sizing Questions

Which size suits a standard sofa? 18 by 18 inches is the common cushion size and the safest choice for sitting alongside cushions you already have.

What is the 20 by 12 for? It is a lumbar shape, meant to support the lower back in a chair rather than to fill a corner of a sofa.

Does the insert come with every size? Yes. Each size ships with its own matched shape-retaining insert.
