Here’s a secret that no one (maybe) will tell you, but they might if you ask nicely: Every room in your house could benefit from a pouf, similar to the one that we’re about to show you here. What’s not to love about extra seating that also functions as decor? Furthermore, if a pouf has a personality that demands center stage, what else are you to do but listen? Give your new furniture pal some friends with these home decor items that have a sense of humor.
Is it a stretch to say that this pouf, from designer and architect Rafael de Cárdenas’s new collaboration with Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams, is a neutral?

There’s a pleasant Pee-Wee's Playhouse vibe to these chunky-handled espresso mugs, which sit at the same table as those Gustaf Westaman chunky plates but are a little less in your face.
Hem Bronto Espresso Cup (Set of 4)
Stocky, bulky and bold, Bronto tableware is a pleasing handful of ceramics. An ample mug and chunky espresso cup are immediately recognizable by their uncommonly fat handles. A side plate’s rounded edges and nonchalant shape follows suit. As with all Supergroup designs, breezy forms belie technical expertise and, in fact, the exaggerated soft outlines of the Bronto range are a feat of ceramic production. A joyful color palette of high gloss glazes, plus a natural clay option, completes the Supergroup signature.

It captures movement and adds softness to any dining, living, or entry area. The pleated shade is made of PET felt, a recycled material produced mainly from used water bottles. UL Certified. Bulb (not included) LED 7W or Incandescent 60W E27. Made in Sweden.
