In a world where interior trends come and go, true design excellence stands the test of time. The Quill Cushion Collection by Nils Juul Eilersen is a shining example when timeless Scandinavian craftsmanship meets contemporary elegance. Whether you're curating a cozy reading nook or looking to elevate your sofa, the Quill cushion effortlessly brings warmth, style, and sophistication into any space.
In this Product Spotlight, we dive into the inspiration, craftsmanship, and styling potential of this stunning collection that proves even the smallest details—like a cushion—can transform your home.
Inspired by Heritage, Designed for Today
Every design tells a story, and the Quill Cushion whispers one of refined artistry and thoughtful expression. Its name, “Quill,” evokes imagery of handwritten letters and artistic strokes—echoing a bygone era where creation was deliberate, tactile, and deeply personal.
Designed by Nils Juul Eilersen, the Quill Cushion embodies this philosophy. With a modern chevron pattern accented by a bold horizontal stripe, each piece marries classic geometry with contemporary flair. The result is a design that feels both rooted in tradition and refreshingly current—a perfect representation of Eilersen’s design ethos.
The cushion isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about storytelling through texture, color, and form.
The Color Story: Bold Meets Balanced
One of the standout features of the Quill Cushion is its sophisticated color palette, offering something for every design taste. From soft, romantic tones to more grounded and vibrant shades, each combination is thoughtfully curated to complement and contrast in equal measure.
Available colorways include:
- Beige-Rose – a gentle pairing perfect for calm, neutral spaces
- Brown-Pink – earthy warmth with a playful twist
- Burgundy-Brown-Beige – deep, moody tones ideal for statement corners
- Green-Blue – refreshing and bold with a hint of nature
- Grey-Blue – cool, minimalist, and effortlessly stylish
- Teal-Beige-Green – a layered trio with both depth and vibrancy
- Yellow-Beige – sunny and elegant, perfect for brightening up a room
Each cushion’s chevron pattern creates subtle movement, while the contrasting stripe anchors the design—creating visual interest without overwhelming the space. It’s these delicate details that make the Quill Collection not just decorative, but decor-defining.
Crafted to Last: A Testament to Quality
At Eilersen, luxury isn't just a look, it's a standard. The Quill Cushion reflects this through its construction, material choices, and performance.
Made from a premium blend of 45% viscose, 35% cotton, and 20% polyester, the cushion’s surface is both luxuriously soft and impressively durable. Whether it’s placed on a sofa for daily use or displayed as a design accent, the Quill maintains its shape, texture, and color over time.
Performance Highlights:
- Color fastness to light – tested to EN ISO 105-B02 standards
- Color fastness to rubbing (wet and dry) – rated 4–5 on the EN ISO 105-X12 scale
- Abrasion resistance – up to 27,000 rubs (EN ISO 12947-2), ensuring it withstands everyday wear
Measuring 50 x 50 cm and weighing 920 g/ml, the Quill Cushion offers the perfect balance of structure and softness—ideal for lounging, layering, or leaning into after a long day.
Cleaning is a breeze too—simply wipe with a damp cloth, and it’s as good as new. This makes the cushion both a luxurious and practical choice for any modern home.
Styling Ideas: Elevate Every Space
The real magic of the Quill Cushion lies in its versatility. It seamlessly enhances a variety of settings, from minimalist Scandinavian apartments to eclectic bohemian homes.
Here are a few ways to style it:
- On a neutral-toned sofa: Pair the Beige-Rose or Grey-Blue cushion with soft throws and textured fabrics for a calming, cohesive space.
- As a contrast piece: Use the Green-Blue or Burgundy-Brown-Beige against lighter furniture to make a bold statement.
- Layering on beds: Mix several colorways across your bed for a plush, designer-hotel vibe. The 50x50 cm size makes it ideal for layering with larger or smaller cushions.
- In accent chairs: The Yellow-Beige option brings a burst of sunshine to any reading nook or occasional chair.
For best effect, group two or three Quill cushions in complementary tones, allowing the chevron lines to play off one another, creating depth and movement within your interior landscape.
Why the Quill Cushion Stands Out
There are plenty of cushions on the market—but few manage to strike the delicate balance between form and function the way the Quill Cushion does. Here’s why it deserves a spot in your home:
- Timeless Design – A pattern that will never go out of style
- Color Versatility – Matches both trendy and classic interiors
- Premium Quality – Built to last, both in construction and comfort
- Scandinavian Craftsmanship – Backed by the trusted Eilersen legacy
- Low Maintenance – Elegant yet easy to care for
It’s not just a cushion. It’s an investment in atmosphere—a tactile expression of design sensibility.
Final Thoughts: A Simple Touch with Big Impact
When it comes to home styling, small touches can have the biggest impact. The Quill Cushion proves that a well-designed accessory can do more than just complete a room—it can define it.
Whether you're refreshing your living room for the season or adding personality to a guest bedroom, the Quill Collection invites you to embrace both comfort and character.
With its rich palette, luxe fabric, and signature design by Nils Juul Eilersen, this cushion is more than just decor—it’s a design statement.
