Comfy Umbrella Cushions

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Clique Poufs Furnish Cozy Places to Curl Up Out of the Elements

— January 22, 2015 — Art & Design
To securely install a parasol, a separate piece of furniture is often required. This umbrella cushion has been specially designed to go with Paola Lenti's Bistro brolly, creating one cohesive set. Less cumbersome than a table and more stable and soft than your typical lawn chair, this lovely ottoman offers the perfect arrangement for casual sitting outside.

Decks, patios, yards and beaches can be made comfier by with these plushy perches. The canopies above the Clique poufs serve to shelter users from the sun and the rain, establishing pleasant environments, no matter the weather. On a fine day, a more elaborate setup might be desired, making a cantilevered metal table a nice and hospitable accessory. Have an afternoon beer or an al fresco lunch on this restful umbrella cushion.
