Channel Stitched Leather Cube Ottoman – 20″ Square Pouf

A Cube That Does More Than Sit in a Corner

This channel stitched leather cube ottoman — 19.7 x 19.7 x 19.7 in (50 x 50 x 50 cm) — is handcrafted from full-grain goat leather in Marrakech, where each panel is hand-cut and hand-stitched with vertical channel seams that give the pouf its distinctive ribbed texture. The equal-sided cube serves as extra seating for guests, a supportive footrest at the end of a sofa, or a sturdy side table when you top it with a tray.

Made to order in small batches — please allow 5-7 business days for production before shipping.

Construction & Channel Stitching

• Square shape: 19.7 x 19.7 x 19.7 in (50 x 50 x 50 cm) — a proportioned cube that holds its structure as a seat, footrest, or side table
• Full-grain goat leather: supple yet durable; develops a rich patina with regular use
• Vertical channel stitching: evenly spaced stitched channels run top to bottom across all four sides, creating a structured ribbed surface
• Zipper base: a concealed zipper at the bottom lets you add or adjust filling at home
• Slight color variation: normal for hand-dyed leather — tonal shifts between panels are a mark of handmade work, not a defect
• Ships flat (unfilled) by default: lowers freight cost; a filled option stuffed with polystyrene foam and cotton is also available for immediate use
• Weight capacity: holds up to ~250 lb (115 kg) when filled

The Craft Behind This Pouf

Abdelilah and the leather artisans behind our poufs work in the Souk Talaa workshops of Marrakech, selecting full-grain goat leather for consistent suppleness before hand-cutting each panel to template. The vertical channel seams are stitched through both layers of leather, creating a visible raised ridge along each channel line that distributes stress across the seam and gives the cube its architectural character. Full-grain goat leather poufs hand-stitched in Marrakech’s Souk Talaa district develop a distinctive patina over time — the leather softens, deepens in color, and becomes more comfortable with every season of use.

Filling Your Pouf

The unfilled option ships flat to reduce shipping weight and cost. Fill it yourself with shredded foam, recycled fabric scraps, or densely packed old clothing — materials that hold shape under load without compressing flat over time. Do not use loose polyfill or feathers, which shift and flatten quickly. Follow our step-by-step guide to filling your pouf for exact fill volumes, recommended materials, and how to achieve a firm sit height.

Care

Wipe the leather surface with a barely damp cloth; never saturate. Condition two to three times a year to prevent the goat leather from stiffening or cracking. Full guidance, including storage and stain removal, is in our leather care guide.

Product Questions

How tall is the leather cube ottoman as a seat?

The cube measures about 19.7 inches on each side, so it sits close to casual lounge-seat height. It works well as an extra seat, a supportive footrest, or a tray-topped side table beside a sofa or reading chair.

Can I use the cube as a side table?

Yes. The flat square top can hold a tray for drinks, books, or decorative objects. A firm fill gives the most stable surface, while a softer fill makes the cube feel more relaxed as seating.

Does the channel stitching change the feel?

The vertical channel stitching adds ribbed texture and structure to the leather panels. It gives the cube a more tailored look than a plain pouf while still keeping the softness and flexibility of full-grain goat leather.
