As a phrase, we could simply say "ko nurkufra". But we probably want a cmene i.e. "la li'o", here for the name of the cushion. I came up with "la .u'a zei nurkufra", but I suppose this isn't valid because "zei" cannot join what is already a lujvo, "nurkufra". Another idea is "la ko nurkufra" (= "la nurkufra pe ko"). Please let me know what you think. mu'o se ckire spuda mi'e tijlan
