Koru Design Cushion Cover - 50cm x 50cm

Introduce a refined accent to your educational space with the Koru Design Cushion Cover, inspired by the timeless elegance of New Zealand's natural heritage. This soft, fabric cover is meticulously crafted from a durable cotton/polyester blend and measures 50cm x 50cm. Its printed velvet-feel finish offers both visual allure and a pleasing tactile experience, reflecting the iconic spiral shape of the koru, which symbolises new beginnings and continuous growth. The cover is removable for ease of maintenance and machine washable in cold water, designed slightly larger to accommodate the slight shrinkage that may occur after the initial washes. For those wishing to customise their seating arrangements, the corresponding cushion insert featuring a durable, soft foam fill is available to purchase separately. As with our other products, this cushion cover is an integral component of our multicultural educational range, intended to foster discussions on indigenous art, environmental sustainability, and community identity. Its practical design is matched by its cultural significance, making it an excellent addition to classrooms, reading areas, and creative play spaces. Educators can utilise this resource to spark conversations about traditional symbolism and the importance of cultural heritage in everyday learning.
