Black Leather Floor Ottoman — Round Pouf with White Stitching

A Black Leather Floor Ottoman That Grounds Every Room

This black leather floor ottoman brings bold contrast and handcrafted character to any space. The 21-inch round pouf features white contrast stitching in a geometric pattern across the top panel, hand-embroidered by leather artisans in Marrakech’s Souk Talaa district using full-grain goat leather — a leather chosen for its supple hand and lasting wear. Whether placed beside a reading chair, grouped around a low table, or set at the foot of a bed, this pouf earns its place through honest craft and everyday function.

Construction & Surface Detail

• Round shape: 21″ diameter × 12″ height (53 × 30 cm) — sized for seating, footrest, or tray-topped side table
• Full-grain goat leather: supple yet resilient; develops a rich patina over time rather than cracking or peeling
• White contrast stitching: geometric embroidery across the top panel, each stitch placed by hand — no two poufs are identical
• Zipper base: a concealed zipper at the bottom lets you fill, refill, or adjust firmness
• Slight color variation: normal for hand-dyed leather; tonal shifts between panels mark genuine handcraft, not defects
• Filled or unfilled option: choose filled and it arrives ready to use, or select unfilled to ship flat and fill at home with shredded foam, recycled fabric scraps, or old clothing — avoid loose polyfill or feathers
• Weight capacity: holds up to ~250 lb (115 kg) when filled

The Craft Behind This Pouf

Abdelilah, the master leather artisan behind our poufs, works in the Souk Talaa workshops of Marrakech, where he selects full-grain goatskin for consistent thickness before hand-cutting each panel to a template. The seams are stitched through both layers of leather, and the white geometric embroidery on the top panel is sewn entirely by hand — one stitch at a time, following a traditional Moroccan pattern that traces back generations of Marrakech leatherwork. Full-grain goat leather, hand-cut and hand-stitched in Marrakech’s Souk Talaa, produces a pouf that holds its shape and supports everyday seating when properly filled.

Filling Your Pouf

Choosing the unfilled option lowers your shipping cost substantially. Fill it at home with shredded foam, recycled fabric scraps, or densely packed old clothing — materials that hold shape under load without compressing flat over time. For exact fill volumes and step-by-step instructions, follow our step-by-step guide to filling your pouf. Prefer it ready to go? Select the filled option and it arrives firm and seat-ready.

Care

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