The bold diagonal stripe pattern in these Derwent Cove Cushions captures the very essence of summer.


​The colours evoke memories of holidays spent by the coast …lazy days watching the yachts heading out to sea …the waves from a passing fishing boat disturbing the calm surface of the water at sunset.


Whether you make just one cushion or a whole set, it will bring summer right into your living room to last well into the chill of the next season.
