With high, flexible side and back panels, the pieces in this group create a variety of different spaces for privacy and retreat.

The thick, plush look of the Alcove Plume seat cushions is matched by their superlative comfort. Though softly padded, they provide adequate support so that sitters do not sink in too deeply. Combined with the quilted side and back panels – a hallmark feature of the entire Alcove family – and the pointed loose cushions, they create a cosy and restful nest. Alcove Plume offers an inviting place to put up your feet and relax in its soft upholstery, which comes in a wide range of colours.
