What is a puff?

What is a puff?

A puff is a low, padded furniture without a backrest or armrest, which is typically used as a footstool, extra seating or decorative element of the interior. It is available in many shapes, materials and sizes, and is popular in both modern and classic homes. A puff combines function and aesthetics and is an easy way to add comfort and personal style to a space.

 


 

Characteristics of a puff

  • Low and compact: The puff is typically low and easy to move around.

  • Padded: It is soft and comfortable - both as a seat and footrest.

  • Multifunctional: Can be used as a footstool, extra chair, coffee table (with tray on top) or simply as decoration.

  • Different forms: Round, square, oval or cylindrical models are common.

  • Material selection: Available in fabric, velor, leather, cotton, wool and many other textiles.
