A brief history of the pouf
Appearing in the 18th century, the pouf was originally a supplementary seat that was fully upholstered, with its wooden frame completely hidden beneath fabric and fringe. Its name, almost onomatopoeic, evokes the softness of the padding that allowed ladies to sit without wrinkling their voluminous dresses, unlike chairs with rigid backs. At its peak during the Second Empire, it was a symbol of uninhibited bourgeois comfort, often adorned with luxurious trimmings that reached the floor.
