While the Muffin Pouffe may look delicious from afar, this delectable design is not actually edible. However, it does serve a purpose other than hunger as a comfortable lounger.
Designer Matteo Bianchi designed the delectable Muffin Pouffe to look a lot like the top of a chocolate muffin. Bianchi created the seat to showcase his interpretation of an ottoman or hassock, which is basically furniture with padding. The top is made from leather and can be removed to function as a cushion on the floor. The top of the base reveals a hole in the middle that will allow storage for whatever item home owners may have laying in the living room. It's a simple, but convenient multi-functional piece that's deliciously playful at the same time.
Matteo Bianchi's Muffin Pouffe made its debut at TENT London 2011.
