i like poufs. they are certainly comfy looking and most of them are aesthetically pleasing. these are a definite favorite and a best. they come from christien meindertma , a dutch designer. and while these poufs are pouftastic it's this rug that is about the most awesome thing i have seen in a long time. it's like a floor sweater. it's handknitted and probably 30 million dollars. 
thanks to bodie and fou for the discovery.
