A well-proportioned mid-century rattan pouf dating to the 1960s. Constructed from tightly bound natural rattan, the form is cylindrical with gently flared top and base, finished with a woven rope rim and horizontal binding bands.
Lightweight yet sturdy, this piece was originally intended as casual seating or a footstool and works equally well today as a low seat, side table or decorative accent. The warm honeyed tone of the rattan has developed naturally with age, giving the surface depth and character.
A practical and versatile mid-century object, well suited to relaxed interiors, sunrooms or layered contemporary spaces.
