I don't mind sitting on the floor at all, in fact I rather enjoy it (remember, this is coming from the girl who spent five months living in a mud house in Himalayan India...); but some people might not feel the same.
I was recalling this weekend with a friend when I realized what I really need are some comfy floor pillows (especially because we have hardwoods), or some cozy-cool poufs. They would have to be relatively compact, maybe even stackable, so I could put them out of the way when they weren't needed. So... I went searching and came up with this fun collection:
What has your experience been with convenient floor seating? What about storing them?

Clockwise from upper left-hand corner:
Rattan pouf (via Urban Outfitters)
Flocks Urchin poufs
AtelierAfra pouf
Zaishu (I've always loved the concept of Zaishu. I've tracked them for years and the art is ever-evolving, but the design has stayed clean, simple, and easily-constructed. Truly awesome.)
Dosa pouf (this link takes you to a photograph of a woman with the exact coffee table/pouf set-up I'm looking to recreate!)
John Derian Moroccan pouf (They even have metallic versions! Although I have heard horror stories of truly authentic Moroccan poufs reeking of wet cow... Maybe you should try the faux "Made in USA" version.)
I wish I were more help, as I can't offer floor seating for most of my friends. We wouldn't be able to get back up. Sucks getting older D:
ReplyDeleteLoving the knit looking poufs! I like the look of two under a coffee table if it allows?!
Our coffee table was a great vintage find at a thrift store and has a shelf of perfectly intact caning about a food below the tabletop. I've always thought it would be a great place to store floor pillows or seating poufs, although I would need to find something lightweight enough so it doesn't hurt the caning!
ReplyDeletethe pouf idea = tres bien
ReplyDeletewhere do you find such cool finds??
