WHAT IT IS
This woven leather bench ottoman is a statement piece combining artisan craftsmanship with versatile functionality. Featuring an intricate herringbone braided pattern across every surface, this handcrafted rectangle pouf serves as a striking coffee table alternative, comfortable entryway bench, bedroom foot-of-bed seating, or generous footrest. Choose stuffed (arrives ready to use) or unstuffed (ships flat—fill yourself to customize firmness). The generous 35-inch length provides ample surface for books, trays, or two-person seating.
HOW IT’S MADE
Crafted by Omar’s leather workshop collective in Marrakech, each woven ottoman requires approximately 20 days of intensive handwork—explaining why this piece is made to order. Master artisans cut genuine leather into thin strips, then meticulously hand-weave each piece in the traditional herringbone pattern—a technique requiring years to perfect. The vegetable-tanned leather undergoes eco-friendly processing using natural plant extracts. Every braid is carefully aligned and secured, creating a durable interlocking structure that strengthens with use.
WHY IT MATTERS
Choosing this handwoven ottoman supports artisan families earning 3-4 times Morocco’s minimum wage while preserving endangered weaving traditions. The vegetable-tanned leather develops rich patina over time, becoming more beautiful with age. Beyond its versatility as seating, table, or accent piece, this ottoman represents conscious design—authentic, ethically-made, and built to last generations.

A: We offer both options! You can choose a pre-stuffed pouf with premium polyester filling ready to use, or select the unstuffed version with a bottom zipper to fill yourself. The unstuffed option dramatically reduces shipping costs and allows you to customize the firmness to your preference.
A: For a 16x16" square: 50-60 ounces of polyester fiberfill. For 18x18": 60-70 ounces. You can also use old clothes or towels—about 3/4 to one full laundry basket compressed tightly.
A: This is critical! Pack all four corners FIRST, pushing filling deep into each corner until they're very firm. Then stuff the edges, and fill the center last. Soft corners = saggy pouf. The corners should feel almost hard initially. See our complete filling guide.
A: They weren't packed firmly enough. Unzip and add more filling specifically to the corners. Square poufs need extra-firm corner packing to maintain their angular shape—this is the #1 mistake people make.
A: Very, very firm—especially in the corners. It should feel too hard when you first fill it. The square shape loses definition quickly if under-stuffed, unlike round poufs which are more forgiving.
A: Yes! When properly filled (especially the corners), this square pouf supports up to 250 pounds. Make sure corners are packed tight for stability—soft corners make it feel unstable when you sit.
A: Yes! The flat edges align perfectly with furniture and don't roll or shift. The angular top is more stable for trays, drinks, or books. It looks intentional as a table, not improvised.
A: Wipe all surfaces with a soft, dry cloth weekly—the flat top collects dust. Blot spills immediately. Pay attention to the corner seams; use a small brush to clean dust from edges. Condition the leather every 6-12 months.
A: 2-3 days for production, then 7-15 days standard shipping (USA/Europe) with free shipping. Square poufs pack flatter than round ones, making them economical to ship. Express options available.
A: Yes, handcrafted in Marrakech by master artisans. Creating perfect 90-degree corners in leather requires exceptional skill. With proper care and firm stuffing, it will last 10-20+ years. The leather develops a beautiful patina over time.
