Contemporary furniture: Is the pouf the new icon?

Pouf, contemporary furniture from a modern past!

Pouf can be defined as the complement that can boast a place among the milestones of contemporary furniture and design. We must necessarily all agree! If this is not the common starting point we can spend two words useful to align ourselves on the common knowledge before continuing with our article and explain why pouf will always remain an irreplaceable complement of contemporary furniture.

First appearance of the pouf seems to date back to the 19th century and seems to owe its name to the pompous hairstyles dictated by the French fashions of that time. A relaxation accessory that, however, has much older and earlier origins than the aforementioned period. We think of the Arab people. Well before the date reported it was widely used to decorate and furnish homes. They were generally made of leather and provided inside them with fabrics that made up the part of the padding. Real giant cushions to relax mind and body whenever needed.

Design or relaxation? The answer, in a pouf!

Here, your moment has arrived! Sorry, I was talking to the skeptics. Oh yes, of course there are! We often hear them say: “I do not like that shape!”, Or: “I do not think it’s comfortable to have my guests converse on these giant pillows!”. The first observation is very acceptable, the second meaning is debatable. However, we analyze a “problem” at a time.

Regarding the form, and therefore evaluating this complement exclusively from the geometric point of view, we would find ourselves discussing a personal aesthetic factor and therefore an absolutely subjective judgment. In a context where the bases of evaluation are based exclusively on this factor, you may not be wrong. We always keep in mind, however, that the need to satisfy your guests is relaxation and not aesthetics.

Having said that, we at Pomodone asked ourselves: are we certain that the form of this complement is not dictated by an intrinsic utility that we fail to exploit? We are sure that if we compare a very common armchair or sun lounger or any other piece of furniture present in your facilities we will be able to offer guests the comfort and relaxation they need?

Pouf of the future? Innovative fibers and soft shapes.

The basic reason may justify the choice of a pouf for your accommodation (and given what we said can not be exclusively aesthetic), we are talking about a complement that, nowadays, can be used in different environments and different positions. Offices, relaxation areas, interiors and exteriors of hotels and bed & breakfasts, swimming pools and beaches, really everywhere!

First poufs were born as royal seats or in some cases as footrests with squared lines and a comfort that is certainly not the best. Over the years this complement has undergone various aesthetic and functional transformations. Driven by its charm and certain to offer relaxation and to put the soul into everything we do, we have studied, produced and finally enhanced what we are sure it is the contemporary furniture complement for excellence.

We have given way to softer shapes and innovative, highly resistant fabrics to offer a giant pouf suitable for all those structures that want to leave an indelible memory in the minds of their beloved guests. The flagship of our production, giant pouf Pomodone can be used in different positions according to the comfort of your guests.

How many and what positions can a pouf take?

1. The first position is called “Relax”. Extending the complement horizontally to the ground, your guests can comfortably use it as a sunbed on which to lie in the sun and sip a cocktail after another in moments of relaxation.

2. The second position is called “Chair”. Positioning the giant pouf Pomodone in a vertical position, you will transform what until recently was a bed in a soft armchair with a comfortable and soft backrest which is entrusted with the task of supporting the shoulders of your tourists during their “conversations on the beach”.

3. The third position is the most particular, but also the most used, it is called “Deck chair”. By positioning Pomodone vertically on the long side, or more simply we could say obliquely, you will get a chaise-lounge in which the guests of your facilities can comfortably sit or lie supported by comfort.

These are the most frequent ways in which the giant pouf can be used and enhanced. Thanks to your imagination and that of your guests you can still position it in a thousand other ways.
