I’ve wanted a statement-making pouf for a while now (which explains why I blogged about one here last year and wrote about one here the year before that!). So when I saw this awesome shag B&B Italia footstool in the feature “The Curatorial Eye” in the January/February issue of our magazine (see photo above), that bee flew right back into my bonnet! So, for this year’s installment of The Pouf That I Probably Won’t Get, But Like in Theory, I offer you two squat lovelies: blood orange knitted-cotton pouf, $79.95, from CB2 and Missoni pouf, $430, from Stitch. Great for a grown-up space, but also fun for a kid’s room.
