Bovist
- Description
- Designer Bio
Bovist
is a decorative floor seat cushion, stool and ottoman at the same time. The
side sewn cover and the filling made of small plastic balls ensure the pleasant
shape and good seating comfort. The cover consists of an expressive fabric
pattern in an elaborate jacquard weaving technique. This pattern and its
color scheme are based on the multi-layered design of the Vlinder sofa . Bovist can therefore not only be used as an expressive solitaire
or as an ottoman for all types of upholstered furniture, but also ideally in
combination with Vlinder.
