The cover is cut from cotton velvet — a surface that catches light softly and holds printed color with a depth that flat weaves simply cannot match. Tigers pace between palm fronds across a warm cream ground, the illustration rendered in amber, ochre, and deep forest green. The velvet pile gives each stripe a dimensional quality, as though the image has settled into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. The cover is removable, making it easy to refresh or launder as the piece finds its place in the room.
