Price History
Description
This vivid, diamond-patterned Sapowaydidi Cushion is designed after the rich aesthetic of West Africa’s native Kirdi people. Meticulously hand-drawn following indigenous patterns, this cushion’s design may seem minimalist at first, but on closer inspection reveals intricate weaving. Featuring a simple trio of colours that are bold without being overbearing, this cushion is made in velvet-soft, 100% linen. Pair with other cushions from the same collection for a stunning, emboldened look.
Our Stylist Says
I love the vibrant geometric pattern of the Heal.s cushion-it’s a fantastic way to add colour and visual interest to a neutral sofa or armchair. Its rectangular shape makes it versatile for layering along with other cushions, creating a more relaxed, curated look. It works well in contemporary or eclectic interiors, where playful patterns can elevate the overall scheme. For practical styling tips, try pairing it with solid-coloured cushions in complementary tones to balance its bold design, or use it as a focal point on more subdued furnishings. Its generous size makes it comfortable for lounging, while the linen cover adds a natural texture that’s easy to maintain.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
