FLOCKS Pouf
You'll love these warm, textural poufs that epitome all that's wonderful about traditional, down-home comfort. Christien Meindertsma has reinterpreted the ages-old chain stitch in an exuberant new form. Using giant knitting needles she had crafted specifically for the purpose, she carefully knits these oversized, stuffed rounds for soft seating that reminds you of being enveloped in a wool afghan. A 100% cotton lining keeps the polyester fill in place. We love this reinvention of an ages-old craft in such a new and stylish incarnation.
Available in two shades of grey, the Flocks Poufs are knit from 100% wool felt carded from the New Zealand sheep. Adding to the personal, hand-made sensibility is the tag on each Flocks Pouf that indicates the flock and personal name of the sheep the wool came from.

The individual stitches on each pouf are so large that they become sculpture, showing each intricate curve and loop as a work of art in itself as well as an integral part of the whole of the pouf. The texture plays with the light and adds depth to the organic shape, combining comfort, warmth and detail in one deceptively simple addition to your floor décor. Try tossing a few Poufs into the room and see how quickly guests scramble to sink into them like their favorite old sweaters!
At just $800 for the medium and $1,600 for the large, consider getting one each for end table and footstool or extra seating. You can find out more about the Flocks Pouf at Christien Meindertsma's FLOCKS website or order at Design Within Reach.
