Tweed Emphasize Cushion - Dark Night

A fabric designed by Gerd Hay-Edie and made famous by Irish fashion designer Sybil Connolly as part of her 1956 Spring collection, the Tweed Emphasize Cushion is an exquisite example of mid-century style. Using 'wild' spun yarn from Donegal which produces a highly textured, dappled appearance, each cushion is completely unique, durable and rich in heritage.

Handwoven fabrics have self-finished edges or ‘selvedge’, by the returning loop of the shuttle at each side. This cushion follows a simple envelope pattern that requires no buttons or zips, and highlights this distinctive handwoven feature.

The Tweed Emphasize Dark Night cushion captures the quiet allure of starlit skies and shadowy mountain peaks. Woven from 100% Merino wool, the fabric features a deep charcoal-black base, reminiscent of moonlit landscapes cloaked in darkness. Subtle flecks of grey and black dance across the surface like scattered starlight, adding depth and movement to the design.

A dark grey yarn is delicately woven throughout, creating a soft interplay of tones that evoke the texture of rocky outcrops under the dim glow of twilight. These intricate colour shifts lend the fabric a beautifully layered and organic quality, while the luxurious wool adds warmth and softness to its refined appearance.

The Tweed Emphasize Dark Night cushion brings a sense of grounding sophistication to any space. Its rich, tonal palette pairs effortlessly with both vibrant hues and neutral tones, offering timeless versatility for your home. Inspired by the natural world and crafted with exceptional care, this cushion is a true celebration of heritage weaving and enduring design.
