Che Guevara Cushion Cover

Che Guevara cushion covers for a sofa with an opinion

The Che's portrait works surprisingly well on a cushion: the square format frames the face without distorting it, and the contrast of the Korda photograph stays legible from across the room. Our aisle works his face through several treatments: high contrast black and white photograph, two tone red and black version, pop reading in flat colour blocks, the bereted silhouette on its own, portrait paired with a short quote.

Standard square sizes depending on the model, hidden closure, pad not included so you can reuse the cushions you already have.

How many Che Guevara cushions on a sofa?

A single one, well placed in a corner, gets noticed more than four in a row. If you want volume, keep one portrait and surround it with calmer geometric motifs: the face then stays the point the eye catches on. On size, 45x45 cm is the most versatile format and suits most seating. Check the size of your inner cushion before ordering, since a cover that is too large creases at the corners.

How do you tie in the rest of the room?

Communist cushion covers in graphic motifs serve as breathing space around the portrait, and Stalin cushion covers round out the series of historical figures if you are committing to a wall of portraits. On the wall, a Che Guevara poster in the same treatment creates a clear echo between the sofa and the partition. In the bedroom, communist bedding sets hold the same register. Everything we offer bearing his likeness is on the Che Guevara page.

Why did this portrait become a decorative motif?

Because it left the political field to become an autonomous graphic sign, reproduced on just about every medium since the nineteen sixties. Our article on who Che Guevara was tells the story of the man behind the image and of how that icon was built.
