Textured Herringbone Cushion - Irish Poppy

We are delighted to re-introduce the Textured Herringbone design to our homeware collection. First featured in the early 1960’s as a clothing fabric, created by Mourne Textiles Founder Gerd Hay-Edie, for Dublin based fashion designer, Sheila Mullally, the Textured Herringbone design has been reworked as a modern, interior fabric. 

The unique variation in texture comes from the differing thicknesses of yarn, combined with occasional loops. This offset with the traditional zig-zag of the Herringbone pattern, creates a beautiful depth and richness to the fabric.

The Textured Herringbone Poppy cushion draws inspiration from the vivid beauty of poppies swaying in garden borders. Woven from a harmonious blend of natural undyed yarn and a deep, wine-red wool, the fabric exudes richness and warmth. The classic herringbone pattern enhances the design’s timeless appeal, while the red yarn’s subtle flecks of bright reds and soft pinks echo the delicate, sunlit tones found in flower petals.

The interplay of colours creates a depth reminiscent of autumnal landscapes, where rich crimson leaves are scattered across the earth, blending effortlessly with natural, earthy textures. The undyed yarn adds an organic contrast, grounding the design in nature and celebrating the raw beauty of the fibre.

Crafted with precision and care, the Textured Herringbone Poppy cushion is a vibrant yet refined addition to your home. Its bold palette brings a sense of energy and warmth to any interior, making it a striking accent piece that pairs beautifully with both neutral and colourful decor. A tribute to traditional weaving techniques and the beauty of the natural world, this cushion is as enduring as it is elegant.

Woven across both blankets and cushions, the Textured Herring design is the perfect accompaniment to any interior.45cm x 45cm
