pad: CHESS

Throw Sand & Taupe 150x200 cm

Checks with a wonderfully relaxed attitude

Chessboard patterns have a reputation for being rather bold. The CHESS throw by pad takes a more laid-back approach. With its generous checks in sand and taupe, it brings together warm, earthy shades and a clear geometric design that feels quietly expressive. Measuring 150 x 200 cm, this cosy blanket is made in Portugal from 65% cotton and 35% polyacrylic. Its soft beige and brown tones recall sandy landscapes, natural textures and a beautifully made flat white enjoyed without a glance at the clock. The alternating squares create an appealing sense of rhythm, while the gently draping fabric and neatly finished edges give the design a welcoming, relaxed feel. Whether spread across the sofa, draped over a favourite armchair or used as an extra layer in the bedroom, CHESS brings pattern, warmth and a pleasing sense of calm to everyday living.

Geometry has a softer side

The CHESS throw in sand and taupe is all about contrasts that feel completely at ease together. Its regular checked pattern adds visual interest, while the understated colours keep the overall effect calm and balanced. In rooms with pale furniture, natural materials and clean lines, it introduces a little character without overwhelming the space. At 150 x 200 cm, the throw offers plenty of room for curling up on the sofa and works equally well across the foot of a bed or over the back of an armchair. The cotton-rich composition brings the familiar qualities of natural fibres, while polyacrylic adds practical, easy-care properties. Looking after it is straightforward too: machine wash at 30°C and tumble dry gently on a low heat setting. Do not iron or bleach. Professional dry cleaning with perchloroethylene is permitted. The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification also confirms that the textile has been tested for harmful substances.

Good design doesn't need to raise its voice

German home textiles brand pad has a talent for giving familiar patterns a fresh perspective. Founded by Michael Rossmann and based in Mertingen, Bavaria, the company creates cushions, blankets and home accessories inspired by colour, textile craftsmanship and relaxed living. Rather than simply following every passing interiors trend, pad develops collections with a distinctive personality and a thoughtful approach to materials. The brand works with selected manufacturing partners and values fair working conditions and traditional textile skills. The CHESS throw is made in Portugal, where established manufacturing expertise meets contemporary design. This considered combination of material, craftsmanship and origin reflects something we appreciate at LIVOSY: home accessories should have character, feel good to live with and remain a welcome part of your home for years to come.

For rooms that feel right at home

Sand and taupe have a natural ability to sit comfortably alongside other colours and textures. Pair the CHESS throw with cushions in cream, warm white, greige or chocolate brown to create a layered, inviting look. Natural wood, linen, ceramics and simple furniture shapes complement its earthy palette beautifully. For a little extra contrast, add touches of olive green, rust or black. The checked design looks particularly appealing next to plain fabrics, allowing its graphic pattern to stand out without making the room feel busy. Combine it with other pad cushions and home accessories for a thoughtful mix of colour and texture that feels personal rather than overly coordinated. And there's no need to fold it away after a cosy evening. Casually draped over the sofa, CHESS becomes part of the room itself. Discover the sand and taupe throw by pad and enjoy a little everyday comfort with a beautifully understated sense of character.
