The Making
The rounded form is built from separate pieces of leather. Across the top, the panels gather around a circular centre; down the sides, their longer lines give the pouf its rhythm. The joining stitches remain visible, tracing how the cover is assembled.
Deep red thread sits close to the colour of the leather. Rather than drawing a sharp outline, it lets the construction emerge through texture and shadow. At the centre, a floral rosette and angular star geometry offer a finer point of attention.
The leather catches light unevenly across the curves, revealing grain, small creases and changes in depth of colour. These details soften the repeated panel shapes and give the surface more interest than a perfectly uniform finish.
Collector’s Note
We chose Deep Red for its richness without brightness. The wine-toned leather has presence, but the closely matched thread keeps the overall impression composed. The embroidery is there to be discovered rather than to compete with the colour.
We like it beside ivory linen, warm oak and the quieter objects that accumulate around a favourite chair. Its rounded shape introduces a softer note among straight furniture lines, while the darker colour gives the arrangement depth.
What makes this version distinctive is the way colour and construction work together. From across the room, a generous burgundy form. Closer, a network of seams and a small embroidered centre. Each distance offers something different.
Depth in the colour. Character in the seams.
