Plush Seating Collections

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Designer Katie Stout's Stuffed Furniture is Offered in Vivid Shades

— March 29, 2017 — Art & Design
Industrial designer Katie Stout is known for creating whimsical yet functional furniture and her collection of stuffed chairs stays true to this signature point of view. Modeled after plush toys, each of the designer's bold chairs is cushioned and boasts a simplistic frame that is mishapen and irregularly balanced as opposed to perfectly symmetrical.

In addition to textured and patterned versions, Katie Stout's stuffed chairs are also available in bright primary colors and a holographic, metallic finish. Doubling as art pieces in one's home, these plush furniture pieces marry fun with function.

This unique seating collection is authentic and unexpected, featuring quirky chairs that are surprisingly comfortable to use. Each piece is not only eclectic in its look and feel, but is also offered in bright fabrics and bold textures.
