Trooper Cushion

Trooper, the white-helmeted soldier with a black visor, on a 40 × 40 cm cushion cover for the bedroom of a science-fiction-loving teenager. The illustration is almost entirely white: the helmet viewed from the front, two large black eyes, the grey mouth grille and a few small blue marks at the sides.

Black and white go with everything, from a grey duvet to colourful walls, so it is one of the cushions in the collection that places the fewest restrictions on the room. On the sofa, it pairs with Vader, the black-helmeted villain, or Darth, the one with the red face.

The high-definition print keeps the white clean and the black lines straight, without smudges. The printed fabric has a soft feel, like cotton, and does not crease no matter how much elbows squash it while playing on the bed.

The cover is easy to fill; the recycled-fibre filling is optional, and the inside of an old cushion cover works just as well.
