The Making
Red thread gives this pouf two distinct kinds of line. The joining stitches trace the leather panels, while finer embroidery draws flowers and slender branching stems across the top. Construction and decoration share a colour, but each has its own rhythm.
The floral motifs repeat around a circular centre, where angular star lines meet a small rosette. Between them, the white leather leaves room for each stitch to be seen. The composition is detailed without becoming a continuous field of ornament.
Below the decorated top, the side panels remain plain apart from their red joining seams. This change of pace gives the rounded form a quieter base. Small differences in the stitchwork and natural creases in the leather soften the repetition.
Collector’s Note
We chose this version for the clarity of red against white. The flowers are immediately visible, yet the finer stems invite a closer look. It is a lively composition held within a simple, generous shape.
In a pale room, the red becomes a small, deliberate accent. Against darker timber and deeper wall colours, the white leather brings light to the arrangement. We like a piece that can change the mood of its surroundings without changing its own character.
Our interest lies in the relationship between the repeated flowers and the seams that frame them. The pattern belongs to the individual panels, and the panels come together as a whole. It is a detail worth noticing before the pouf becomes part of everyday life.
White gives the space. Red draws the rhythm.
