pad: CHESS

Throw Sand & Orange 150x200 cm

A little chessboard, a lot of comfort

The classic chessboard has found somewhere rather more comfortable to spend its time: your sofa. The CHESS throw by pad brings together warm sand and vibrant orange in a generous checked pattern that feels playful without taking over the room. Measuring 150 x 200 cm, this cosy blanket is generously sized for curling up with a book, relaxing through a film or adding an inviting layer to your favourite armchair. Made in Portugal from 65% cotton and 35% polyacrylic, it combines natural cotton fibres with practical synthetic fibres for everyday living. The soft sand shade balances the lively orange squares, while the flowing fabric and neatly finished edges complete its graphic look. It's the sort of home accessory that changes the mood of a room without requiring you to rearrange the furniture. Quite considerate, really.

Checks that know how to relax

The pad CHESS throw has a knack for bringing together bold geometry and a welcoming, lived-in atmosphere. Against a cream or neutral sofa, the orange and sand checks create a cheerful focal point. Paired with darker furniture, they introduce warmth and a refreshing contrast. The 150 x 200 cm size also makes it a lovely addition to the bedroom, casually draped across the foot of the bed or kept close for cooler evenings. Its cotton and polyacrylic blend makes it a practical companion for everyday use. Caring for it is refreshingly straightforward: wash at 30°C and tumble dry gently on a low heat setting. Avoid bleach and ironing. Professional dry cleaning with perchloroethylene is also permitted. The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification means the textile has been tested for harmful substances, offering an extra bit of reassurance.

A good idea with a few unexpected corners

Behind the CHESS collection is pad, a German home textiles brand based in Mertingen, Bavaria. Its story began when founder Michael Rossmann turned an unexpected change of plans into a new creative venture. Today, pad creates cushions, throws and home accessories with a fondness for expressive colours, imaginative patterns and beautiful textiles. Rather than relying on anonymous mass production, the brand works with selected manufacturing partners and places importance on textile craftsmanship and fair working conditions. Many pad blankets are produced in traditional Portuguese workshops, including CHESS. That combination of European production, thoughtful material choices and individual design speaks to what we value at LIVOSY: objects that bring personality into everyday life and feel worth keeping around.

Good company for colourful living

The CHESS throw in sand and orange is surprisingly easy to mix with the rest of your home. Pair it with cushions in cream, oatmeal or natural beige to bring out its softer side, or introduce terracotta and rust tones to echo the warmth of the orange. For a more graphic look, try dark wooden furniture, clean-lined accessories or simple ceramic pieces. Other pad cushions and home textiles can add another layer of texture and colour without making the room feel too busy. And there's no need to fold this throw away neatly between uses. Draped over the arm of a sofa, it becomes part of the room's character. Discover the CHESS collection by pad and make space for a little colour, comfort and a rather charming game of checks.
