Need extra seating that takes up little space and is easy to move? Poufs from Leta Meubelen give lobbies, lounges and restaurants a flexible place to sit, as a standalone footstool or as part of a complete seating area.
Choose the shape and height based on the surrounding furniture, and the fabric based on use and maintenance. Round or angular, upholstered or with rope: every pouf is made to measure in the colour that suits your interior.
The best poufs for hospitality are sturdy enough for daily use, match the height of the surrounding furniture and are easy enough to move quickly. They complete a seating area without making the space feel heavy, as there is no backrest to block the view.
Consider in advance what role the pouf will play. Is it a permanent seat in a lounge, an extra seat for busy moments or mainly a decorative accent? That choice determines the shape, the firmness of the seat and the type of fabric.
A hospitality pouf is a freestanding seat without a backrest or armrests, usually upholstered and made for professional use in hotels, lounges and restaurants. A footstool is essentially the same, but more often serves as a footrest beside an armchair or as a low stool.
The collection includes both variants. MOJO TABURE has the character of a stool, whereas MONICA BENCH is more like a low bench for two people. Most other models simply carry POUF or PUF in their name.
In a hotel lobby, a pouf is ideal for keeping a seating area flexible. Guests pull one up themselves when they are in a larger group, and staff put it back after a busy spell. Because there is no backrest, the lobby stays open and uncluttered. Our hotel projects show how seating areas are put together in practice.
In restaurants and cafés, poufs work best in lounge areas, at a waiting area by the entrance or in a children’s corner. They are less suitable at a dining table, where guests soon miss the support of a backrest.
Round models create a soft, informal look and can be used from any side. Square and rectangular versions align better with sleek sofas and tables and are easier to place in a row or against a bench. Elongated versions double as a small bench.
Match the seat height to the surrounding furniture. A pouf that serves as a footrest beside an armchair needs to be lower than one that acts as a full seat next to a sofa. For bespoke pieces, we adapt the dimensions to your layout.
The upholstery largely determines how long a pouf keeps looking good. Choose a hard-wearing fabric that can withstand intensive use and regular cleaning, especially in a lobby where guests also put their bags or coats on it.
Alongside upholstered versions, there are models with rope, such as SOGA ROPE, and wooden variants. These have a more robust character and suit natural interiors well. A pouf is also an effective way to introduce an accent colour, for example the colour of your logo or bar.
Poufs come into their own in a seating area. Place one or two next to lounge chairs, combine them with a sofa or group them around a side table. This creates a layout you can adapt to each occasion.
Use the same fabric as on the armchairs for a calm, cohesive look, or choose a contrasting colour to make the pouf stand out as an accent. This category belongs to the wider hospitality chairs collection, so you can coordinate all your seating in one go.
Leta Meubelen makes every pouf to measure: you tailor the shape, dimensions, fabric and colour to your interior. Production takes place in our own 60,000 m² bespoke workshop, where everything undergoes a quality check. As soon as the design is clear, the lead time is 10–12 weeks.
Would you like to feel fabrics and see shapes side by side? You are welcome at the showroom in Eindhoven by appointment only, together with your interior designer if you wish. You will find more inspiration among our completed projects, including FEM AAN HET DOK. For a tailored proposal, you can request a consultation.
A pouf and a footstool are both seats without a backrest or armrests. A pouf is usually upholstered and serves as a standalone seat; a footstool is more often used as a footrest beside an armchair or as a low stool. In hospitality, the two terms are often used interchangeably.
Yes, for a short to medium stay in a lounge or lobby. Because a pouf has no backrest, it is less suitable at a dining table or for a long evening. So combine poufs with lounge chairs or a sofa in the same seating area.
As a flexible extra seat alongside armchairs and sofas. Guests pull up a pouf when they are in a larger group, and because there is no backrest, the lobby stays open and uncluttered. Choose a hard-wearing fabric, as lobby furniture sees intensive use.
Usually a square or rectangular model. Straight lines echo the shape of a sleek sofa and are easy to place beside or in front of it. A round pouf can also serve as a deliberate, soft contrast in an interior with lots of straight lines.
Yes. Leta Meubelen makes every pouf to measure, with you choosing the fabric, colour, shape and dimensions. Production takes place in our own 60,000 m² bespoke workshop. Once the design is approved, the lead time is 10–12 weeks.
That depends on the space and the number of fixed seats. One or two poufs per seating area of armchairs or a sofa is often enough: extra capacity without losing circulation space. Leave enough room around each pouf so guests can stand up easily.
