A square footprint sits differently in a room than a round one. It goes into a corner, against a wall, or holds its place in the middle of a floor without asking for space to be cleared around it. The centre of this pouf dips slightly lower than its corners, turning a simple seat into a shallow hideaway that a child can tuck a toy, a book, or themselves into.
Five fabric collections cover the same 60 x 60cm shape. Aesthetic and Slimcord are both corduroy, one finished with a soft velvet nap and the other with a classic ribbed cord, and both are foam-filled with a removable cover. Bearly swaps the ribbing for a plush teddy-style pile that reads warmer against a nursery floor. Boucle carries the same foam construction under a looped, textured weave. Outdoor is built differently again: its water-repellent, UV-resistant fabric is filled with adjustable styrofoam beads rather than foam, which is what lets it move between a playroom and a garden without losing shape.
Eighteen colourways run across the five collections, from Aesthetic's Ecru and Powder Pink through Slimcord's Brick and Sand to Outdoor's Cloudberry Sky Blue and Rosy Dune Pink. Every cover comes off the same way it goes on: a zip, a wash, and back onto the pouf once dry.
A pouf this size earns its keep by doing more than one job. It is a spare seat when friends visit, a footrest in front of the sofa, and a low perch for a child working out how to sit unsupported. The dip in the centre means it never looks quite like ordinary furniture, which is exactly the point.
