The Moroccan leather pouf is one of the oldest and most enduring objects in the Amazigh domestic tradition. For centuries, low seating — cushions, poufs, banquettes — has defined the Moroccan interior: a space organised around the floor, around gathering, around the act of sitting close to the ground and to one another.
This pouf is made in the workshops of the Marrakech medina, where the craft of leather embroidery has been practised for generations. The leather is goat skin, vegetable-tanned in the city's famous tanneries — one of the last places in the world where this ancient process is still carried out by hand, in open-air stone vats, using natural pigments and traditional methods. The embroidery is worked by hand, stitch by stitch, in the tile pattern that gives this piece its name.
The soft pink colour is achieved through natural dyeing — a process that produces the characteristic warmth and depth that synthetic dyes cannot replicate. Each pouf is slightly different. That is not a flaw. It is the signature of the hand.
