Story
Moroccan leather poufs, reduced
Circus draws inspiration from antique Moroccan leather poufs, whose focus is on handcraft. Simon Legald replaces their traditional patchwork patterns with a plain triangle motif, which gives the pouf a contemporary look. The pouf comes in two sizes, Small and Large.
Strict and soft
Normann Copenhagen describes a design that lets contradictions meet, strict and minimalist in style yet soft and inviting in expression.
