Poufs are petite pieces that instantly upgrade the cozy factor of any room. The small cushioned ottomans can provide extra seating in a snap, or you can top them with trays to hold drinks or dishes. We’ve rounded up our favorite poufs that will instantly upgrade your indoor and outdoor lounge areas.
Danish designer Cecilie Manz conceived this highly functional and aesthetically pleasing Pouf (2016) especially for Fritz Hansen. It’s upholstered with Poul Kjærholm canvas on the bottom and Kvadrat Remix on top, with a thin band of leather separating the two. Made in Denmark.
To pouf or not to pouf? It’s easy to jump on the Ottoman trend with the Chandra Contemporary Cotton Cord Pouf. Hand knit on the outside and cotton-filled on the inside, it’s the extra seat for an unexpected guest or an ideal footrest for an evening spent blissfully alone on the sofa with the remote.
With rounded corners and staggered seams, Softsquare (2016) gives the traditional square pouf new life. This versatile, colorful pouf will refresh virtually any room that could use flexible extra seating. It’s fitted with a removable cover for easy cleaning. Made in Denmark.
The Five Pouf (2015) is a versatile, easy-to-use design that is both comfortable and contemporary. With a pentagon shape and linear detailing contrasted against curved edges, the Five Pouf is a unique item that can be used as extra seating or to decorate an unused corner of any room.
So, what's the Point? The Fatboy Point Stonewashed Ottoman is a supportive foot rest, a petite bedside table or a convenient extra seat. It is covered in soft, easy-to-clean 100% stonewashed cotton that's available in a versatile range of colors. That's the Point.
