These fluffy wool stools called Flocks Pouf Stools are knitted using gaint knitting needles. Netherland designer Christien Meindertsma creates each Pouf Stool.
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. 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. A 100% cotton lining keeps the polyester fill in place. 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.
Flocks is Christien Meindertsma's knitwear brand based in Rotterdam. Apartment Therapy says each pouf comes with a card identifying the sheep that the wool was sourced from. The attractive stools start at $4,080.00 at Nova68.com for the largest size. There are smaller versions of the stools available here. The smaller ones starts at $1,020. Design Within Reach also carries some of the the Poufs - see here. (via Luxist)
