Placed at the foot of a sofa with a few books set beside it, or near a bookcase as an extra seat, it punctuates the space with elegance. A second-hand object, it bears the mark of its past: a few traces of time.

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