Description
This square pouffe is as at home in the garden as it is in the living room. The textured outer is woven from thin threads of PET polyester yarn made from recycled plastics, and because that yarn is non-absorbent, the pouffe can be used outside as well as in. It measures 50 x 50cm and stands 38cm high. The white base is framed on its sides by a black border of repeating arch motifs finished with small scrolls, reminiscent of a Greek key, and the top is left plain.
As an outdoor pouffe, it gives a patio or roof terrace a low extra seat, or a footstool for a garden chair. Indoors, it works beside an armchair, at the foot of a bed or in a reading corner, and the black and white border suits pale walls and warm, natural tones. Two measurements are worth checking before you order. The 50cm square footprint is the space to clear in front of a sofa, or along a narrow balcony with room left to walk past. The 38cm height is the figure to hold against the seat of the chair you plan to pair it with, whether it will mostly be a footrest or an occasional perch for a guest.
The pouffe is 50% PET and 50% PU foam by composition. Its outer is woven in India, and it arrives ready to use with no assembly required. Polyester is a synthetic fibre that takes up very little water, which is why marks that appear over time can be gently washed or brushed off. During long spells of wet weather, we recommend letting it dry under cover when it is not in use. The border does the decorative work, so give it plain surroundings: a pale rug indoors, or pots of greenery outside.

Frequently Asked
Can this pouffe be used outside?
Yes. The outer is woven from non-absorbent PET yarn, which is what makes it suitable for a patio, balcony or garden. During long spells of wet weather, we recommend letting it dry under cover when it is not in use.
How do I clean marks off it?
Gently wash or brush off any marks as they appear over time. The PET yarn is non-absorbent, which is what allows marks to be treated this way whether the pouffe lives indoors or out.
How much space does it take up?
It has a 50 x 50cm footprint and stands 38cm high. On a balcony, check that a 50cm square still leaves room to walk past; indoors, measure the space in front of your sofa or chair before you order.
Can I sit on it, or is it just a footrest?
It can be both. Its seat height is 38cm, so it works as a low extra seat as well as a footrest; compare that figure with the seat of the chair it will be used with to see how the two line up.
What is it made of?
The textured outer is woven in India from thin threads of PET polyester yarn made from recycled plastics. By composition, the pouffe is 50% PET and 50% PU foam.
Is the top patterned too?
No. The top is plain white, in the same textured weave as the rest of the pouffe, while the black framed border sits on the sides.
