Cogimade cogimadeDare to do it your way.

Why I made it

I was looking for something to sit on for a small loggia and no pouf I could buy suited me. So I made my own. My friends liked it too and eventually I started selling it.

From pill to pebble

The first poufs were elongated, with the seam between the top and bottom fabric exactly in the middle. A perfect pill, so they were called PILL. Later I made the proportions bigger and the pill became the more comfortable PEBBLE.

Practical

The cover comes off and can be washed. Inside is a bag of beads that can be topped up whenever you like.

Patterns

The range comes in a few patterns: plain SIMPLE, JUNGLE, UNICORN and the one-off GRACE. Some patterns were made as a single piece and won't be repeated.

What I learned

That a few centimetres and a moved seam change the whole pouf. The pill became a more stable, more comfortable pebble.
