Add a playful artistic touch to any living space with the Brillo Box Pouf. Inspired by Andy Warhol's original Brillo Soap Box sculptures from 1964, the ottoman has been tweaked to offer more comfort. It is made out of patented plush QM foam rather than unforgivingly hard plywood. Aside from that simple swap, the Brillo Box Pouf might as well be mistaken for the real deal.
A collaborative design effort between Quinze & Milan and The Andy Warhol Foundation for Fab.com, the Brillo Box Pouf is multifunctional. While it can remain solely as an untouched art piece in the home or office, it can also act as a stool, table, ottoman and more.
Water resistant, weatherproof and easy-to-clean, the Brillo Box Pouf lives up to Warhol's statement, "Pop art is everywhere."
