Santos Small Brick Pouffe Footstool – Brick

This is a small footstool from our Santos range, wrapped in soft velvet in a warm brick colourway. It measures 410mm wide by 410mm deep and stands 440mm high, so it slots easily into tight corners or beside a chair without taking over the floor. A fringe trim runs around the base, adding a bit of playful movement to the shape. It weighs a light 3kg and arrives fully assembled in a single box, ready to put straight to use.

We think this piece works hard in most rooms. Use it as a footrest in front of an armchair, as extra seating when guests arrive, or as a low stand for a tray of drinks or a stack of books. The compact size means it suits smaller living rooms, bedrooms and hallways where a full stool would feel too big. The bold brick tone pairs well with neutral sofas and warmer palettes, and gives a plain scheme a bit of colour to build around.

The velvet cover has a soft, close pile that catches the light and gives the brick shade some depth. The fringe detail is stitched around the lower edge, framing the round shape and softening the overall look. Keeping it in good order is straightforward: wipe the velvet with a clean damp cloth or lift any dust with a soft brush, working in the direction of the pile. Avoid soaking the fabric or the fringe, and let it dry naturally before use. Since it comes fully built, there are no fixings or flat‑pack steps to worry about, so it can go straight into the room you have in mind. Small in scale but with plenty of character, it is a simple way to add both function and colour.

What is the cover made from?

The cover is velvet in a brick colourway, with a soft, close pile that gives the shade some depth. A fringe trim is stitched around the lower edge. It is a fabric footstool rather than leather, so treat it as you would other velvet upholstery around the home.

How do I clean it?

Keep it fresh by wiping the velvet with a clean, slightly damp cloth, or lift dust with a soft brush working in the direction of the pile. Avoid soaking the fabric or the fringe, and let it dry naturally before use. Regular light brushing helps keep the pile looking even.

How big is this footstool?

It measures 410mm wide, 410mm deep and 440mm high, making it a compact piece. That size suits smaller living rooms, bedrooms and hallways where a larger stool would feel too bulky, while still giving you a practical footrest or extra perch when you need one.

Can I use it as a seat?

Yes, it works as occasional extra seating as well as a footrest. Because of its compact size it is best suited to lighter, short‑term use rather than as a main chair. Many people also use it as a low stand for a tray, books or similar items.

Does it need assembly?

No. It arrives fully assembled in a single box, so there are no fixings or flat‑pack steps to work through. Simply unbox it and place it in the room you have in mind. At just 3kg it is light enough to move between spaces whenever you want a change.
