Concept Malani Pouf is a sculptural, compact ottoman that reads as a tactile accent and practical seating or footrest. Its cylindrical form, vertically striped upholstery and low-contrast dark plinth balance playful texture with grounded poise. The design is intended to function as a versatile object — a movable seat, casual table with tray, or a layering piece that brings rhythm and tactility to residential and hospitality interiors.
Inspiration
Traditional upholstered poufs and drum stools reimagined with contemporary scale and clean detailing.
Textile samplers and tailored upholstery techniques that emphasize vertical rhythm and hand-crafted finish.
Interiors that use small objects—stools, poufs, and ottomans—to introduce pattern, color, and flexible seating.
Materials & Finishes
Frame: plywood or molded engineered board shell for light rigidity and even round form. Reinforced lower skirt where plinth meets shell.
Cushioning: molded high‑resilience foam top layer (20–40 mm) over a firmer support layer to balance comfort and shape retention; optional feather/down topper for premium variant.
Upholstery: Commercial grade upholstery with high martindale cycles
