The upholstered pouf continues to be a popular, playful seating solution for office break out areas. Here are some of our favourite launches from 2015.

Designed for any public or private relaxation space, the AIA poufs by Nadia Arratibel for Spanish brand Ondarreta feature fine seam details and are available in a wide range of colors.

Danish design brand Muuto added the undulating Five pouf by Anderssen & Voll to its ever-growing portfolio of furniture, lighting and accessories. "The design process was very much about tailoring," explain the designers. "The quilted ribs are seemingly wrapped around the shape and enhance the dynamics of the pentagon."

With its rounded shape and clean, graphic lines Norman Copenhagen’s Circus pouf is a modern interpretation of the antique Moroccan leather pouf.

Resembling an oversized ball of wool, the knitted tubes of OK Design's Chango Poufs are a mix of wool, nylon and acrylic with a polyester filling – a matching cushion is also available.

Online furniture brand Hem has launched a family of playful poufs including cylinder, cube and oblong designs. Called Bricks, the poufs come in a variety of colours and can be used either as a seat or foot rest.
