Miaki Geometric Cotton Pouffe - Multi

The Miaki is a round pouffe covered in tufted cotton, worked in a multicoloured geometric pattern of diamonds and triangles that runs all the way around its side. The top is tufted plain, without the pattern, so the seat itself looks calmer than the sides. It measures 34cm across and 34cm tall, a low, compact size that sits comfortably beside a child's bed or a small play table rather than taking over the floor. The cover is 100% cotton and the filling is polystyrene beads.

We see it first in a children's bedroom or playroom, as an extra seat at child height for reading, drawing or games with soft toys. At 34cm tall it is sized for small children, and its round shape lets it tuck in neatly beside a bookcase or under a window. It weighs 1.52KG, so it is easy to lift and carry from the bedroom to the playroom and back again. A pouffe of this height also works as a footrest beside an armchair in the living room, and the multicoloured pattern gives a plain room a cheerful focal point at floor level.

The cover is tufted, so the cotton yarn stands up in close loops that give the whole surface a raised, nubbly texture you notice as soon as you touch it, and the blocks of pattern are built up in that same pile. Inside, the polystyrene beads settle and shape themselves a little under whoever sits down, so the pouffe gives rather than staying hard like a solid stool. Cotton is soft against bare legs and feet. For styling, we like it on a round rug or a plain floor where the pattern has room to show, with a basket or a few soft toys nearby to pick up its colours.

What is the Miaki pouffe made of?

The cover is 100% cotton with a tufted finish, and the filling inside is polystyrene beads, which settle a little under weight.

How big is the pouffe?

It is 34cm across and 34cm tall, a low round seat that suits a children's bedroom or playroom without taking up much floor.

Is it heavy to move around?

No. It weighs 1.52KG, so it is easy to pick up and carry between the bedroom, the playroom and the living room.

Is it firm or soft to sit on?

The polystyrene bead filling gives a little and settles under whoever sits on it, so it is more yielding than a solid wooden stool.

Can it be used as a footrest?

Yes. A round pouffe 34cm tall works well as a place to rest your feet beside an armchair or a sofa in the living room.

Is the pattern the same all the way round?

The geometric pattern of diamonds and triangles runs all the way round the side in multicoloured blocks, while the top is tufted plain without the pattern.
