Description
Lending from the aesthetic of West Africa’s native Kirdi people, this diamond-patterned Sapowaynay Cushion was created by Amechi, an indigenous African luxury home decor brand. While the cushion’s design may seem minimalist at first, on closer inspection it reveals intricate weaving that traces hours of meticulous hand-drawing. Featuring a front of twin coloured diamonds with a back in ocean blue, this cushion adds is a unique addition to any modern living space.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this rectangular cushion for its contemporary yet versatile design. The geometric pattern and muted colour palette make it a great addition to modern living rooms or bedrooms, especially in neutral or monochrome schemes. It works well layered with plain or textured cushions on sofas or beds to add visual interest without overwhelming the space. For practical styling, consider pairing it with solid colours that pick out the tones in the pattern-think navy, teal, or soft beige-to create a cohesive look. Its size makes it ideal for use as a lumbar support on seating or as an accent piece on a bed, offering both style and comfort.

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.
