If you are looking to get onto the geometric bandwagon but do not want to let those shapes and colors overtake your home, these Fun Makes Good ottomans and poufs are a great way to introduce them in a subtle and practical way. Inspired by architecture and, of course, geometry, they are modern yet quaint pieces that would provide great accent for just about any existing home decor.
Created by Glasgow-based textile designer and upholsterer Eleanor Young, these Fun Makes Good ottomans and poufs feature unique and creative patterns from locally sourced, specialist wools, leathers and hand-dyed cotton. Although there are pops of vibrant colors, I like that the pieces are more muted so as to complement any palette.
The Fun Makes Good ottomans and poufs were recently exhibited during Pulse London.
