Mahir Blue Cushion

Borrowing its name from the Turkish word meaning ‘skilled or expert’, the Mahir Blue Cushion has elements of the Moorish pattern within the Ikat designs. Look closely and you will notice small dragons, just one of the mythical creatures often found within the thickly woven fabric of Ikat prints. The overstitched sides are in a jute and cotton blend.

Ikat originates from Indonesia and is a laborious two-step process that involves resist-dyeing of sections of the yarn prior to weaving into the fabric, creating the uneven finish that we’ve come to love – giving that timeless and well-travelled appeal.

Style this cushion on bold unholstered chairs or sofas to add an extra layer of colour and texture, or with natural linens and muslin throws in your bedroom.

This cushion has a hypoallergenic inner pad and a plain linen reverse.

Ikat is a particularly sophisticated design used by high-end fabric houses and interior designers. Its roots and origins are from Indonesia, (Ikat in Indonesian languages means 'bind'). The process is similar to tie-dye and batik, however, to create an Ikat design, the dye is applied to the yarns before they are woven into the cloth, whereas for tie-dye and batik, the dye is applied to the completed, woven cloth.
