Yellow Sabra Pouf – Cactus Silk, Unstuffed, 50×50×30 cm

Yellow Sabra Pouf – 50 × 50 × 30 cm, Cactus Silk

This yellow sabra pouf is made in Morocco from sabra, the silky “cactus silk” weaving. Its bright yellow brings sunshine to a room.

What is a Moroccan pouf?

A Moroccan pouf is a floor cushion — a cousin of the ottoman — used as an extra seat, a footrest or a low side table. In Moroccan homes, poufs are moved around freely, from the living room to the terrace, and they bring texture and colour at floor level.

This pouf is made from sabra weaving — the silky yarn known as “cactus silk”, traditionally associated with the fibres of the agave and today often a plant-based viscose. Read our guide to sabra rugs and poufs.

Material, colour and design

Yellow sabra gives this pouf a luminous, silky surface that catches the light. It is smooth to the touch and brings a bright accent at floor level.

Sold without filling: how to fill your pouf

This pouf is sold without filling: the cover travels flat, which keeps the parcel light. Fill it at home with what you prefer:

• old blankets, towels or clothes, packed tightly in a bag;
• pieces of upholstery foam;
• polystyrene beads or wadding in an inner bag, for a lighter pouf.

Push the filling well into the corners and keep adding until the pouf is firm, so it keeps its shape. For step-by-step advice, read our guide to filling a pouf or cushion cover.

Handmade in Morocco

Moroccan poufs are made by hand: the cover is cut and sewn by an artisan, so every pouf has its own small irregularities. Once filled, it settles and takes its shape with use. And because it is sold empty, you can store it flat when you do not need it, or take it with you easily when you move.

Why choose this yellow sabra pouf?

A yellow sabra pouf is a cheerful, practical piece: extra seating for guests, a footrest in the evening and a pop of colour that you can move from room to room.

Care instructions

Every piece is unique

Because it is made by hand, your pouf may show small irregularities in shape, colour and pattern. They are the signature of the artisan and part of its charm.
