Pouffe - buffalo leather - Moroccan craftsmanship

Vintage Moroccan Buffalo Leather Pouf | A hefty dose of the 90s, a touch of Moroccan souk, and especially a lot of character.

Some furniture gets more beautiful as it ages. This generous, handmade Moroccan pouf from the 90s is a perfect example of that.

Rendered in thick, supple buffalo leather, with a rich cognac- and chestnut-brown color, a well-worn surface, and a particularly striking horizontal rib design.

And it’s precisely that combination that makes it so appealing.

The continuously running stitched leather bands around the pouf give it an almost architectural look. Rugged, graphic, and at the same time wonderfully casual. The round shape, generous dimensions, and warm color nuances create a pronounced vintage appearance.

Not a meek footstool, but a full interior statement.

The leather has developed a beautiful natural patina over more than thirty years. Warm color shifts, subtle folds, and visible traces of the past. Not an artificial vintage finish, but authentic leather with its own history.

With a generous diameter of 47 cm and a height of 45 cm, this pouf is a striking piece of furniture. Perfect as extra seating, a luxurious footrest, or a standalone decorative element.

Interior & styling

A touch of 70s soul, 90s attitude, and contemporary design.

This pouf feels at home in a variety of interiors.

In an industrial loft, the warm cognac leather pairs beautifully with concrete, black steel, and dark wood.

Next to a modular design sofa, for example in the style of De Sede or Ligne Roset Togo, a thrilling interplay of round shapes, soft materials, and pronounced vintage design emerges.

Also in a creative studio, stylish photo room, or an interior with Mid-Century, bohemian, or eclectic influences, this is a particularly attractive object.

Pair it with a vintage Persian rug, a low coffee table, chrome lighting, and a hefty stack of vinyl records.

And for lovers of music, art, and design? This is one of those pieces that effortlessly centers an entire interior around it.

A piece of Moroccan craftsmanship with international design allure.
