Embroidered Cushion Cover - Apricot, Linen

The cushion cover features hand-embroidered abstract patterns inspired by nature and antique book endpapers. Its linen fabric provides a durable base for the intricate dotted outline design, while the apricot thread adds vibrant detail. The handcrafted embroidery creates texture and visual interest, and the tailored construction ensures lasting quality.

Originally designed by OKA Co-Founder Lucinda Waterhouse, the Leptoria cushion range takes inspiration from the abstract patterns found in nature and the ornamental endpapers you would expect to see in antique novels, encyclopaedias and history books. Made by hand, the linen of each cushion is first pulled tightly over a frame to create a taut surface for marking the design, which is drawn on tracing paper before being transferred to a tailoring machine which creates the dotted outline. The pattern is transferred onto the fabric using chalk powder paste, which gives the artisans an outline on which to embroider over with Apricot thread.
