Shinto Pouf – Pierre Frey

For this model, I wanted to play on contrasts. This ottoman is not just a practical extra seat; it's a true decorative statement to liven up a living room corner or bedroom.

What makes it charming:

Pierre Frey Velvet: I used the "Shinto" fabric from Maison Pierre Frey, a brand I particularly admire. It's a cut velvet with a very bright coral geometric pattern.

Black & Coral Contrast: To highlight this pattern, I chose long black fringes (21 cm) from Passementerie Île-de-France. They add a very modern graphic line to the whole piece.

Local Production: Like all my creations, this ottoman is entirely handmade in my workshop in Lyon. It is built on a solid wooden structure to ensure durability.

It's a compact and lightweight piece, easy to move around as needed, whether to rest your feet or accommodate a guest.

Anne's advice: "This 'Shinto' ottoman is an architectural piece. For an 'art gallery' effect and a graphic living room, place it solo on a polished concrete floor or a plain black rug. It also works wonderfully in a duo with matte black metal furniture or mixed with golden accents for a more 'urban palace' ambiance."
