Philippe Malouin created a system of chairs called the Puffer collection. The line consists of [two, three, and four-seat sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knoll-perron-pillo), as well as an armchair. The Canadian designer collaborated with London-based furniture manufacturer [SCP](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boxed-collection) to create the collection.

The line is inspired by the [feather-filled Puffer jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smock-collection) and takes queues from the jacket's plush design. Comfort was highly prioritized in the manufacturing process. Malouin explains that "the design of the Puffer is super related to lockdown, and what people want from a sofa now. That is probably the reason why it is that big." The oversized seeing is made with a solid beech frame and is upholstered at SCP's specialized factory in England. The upholstery is made from natural fibers, hessian, rubberized hair, needled wool, and inter-liner.
