The Making
White seams trace broad sections of grey leather, giving the rounded top a clear structure without a strong colour statement. The grey leaves room for the thread to be noticed: its raised texture, its changing direction and the circle it draws around the centre.
Inside that circle, finer embroidery forms an overlapping, star-like geometry around a small rosette. Branching lines add detail between the points. The shift from broad leather panels to closely worked thread gives the eye somewhere to settle.
Hand-stitching joins the panels, while embroidery brings a more delicate scale to the centre. Small folds and variations in the leather surface soften the regular outline. The ornament remains legible, but the material is never hidden beneath it.
Collector’s Note
We chose Grey & White for rooms where texture matters more than another colour. It offers the presence of an embroidered leather pouf without demanding a bright accent elsewhere. The white thread keeps the form distinct; the grey makes it easy to live with.
Beside an oatmeal linen sofa, it introduces a cooler note. Against warm oak or walnut, it brings a quiet contrast. A plain wool rug gives the stitchwork space, while a darker chair makes the rounded grey silhouette feel lighter.
Placed within reach of a reading chair, it becomes part of the room’s daily rhythm rather than a finishing touch kept at a distance. Its restraint is useful: it can sit comfortably among books, textiles and familiar furniture while still rewarding a closer look.
A quiet colour. Nothing lost in the detail.
