Kariri Pouf By +55design – Handwoven Straw Ottoman Ethnic Brazilian Craft

The Kariri Pouf by Brazilian designer Neca Abrantes reflects a deep appreciation for indigenous craftsmanship and traditional handwoven techniques. Designed as a companion to her reimagined ethnic swivel armchair, the pouf serves as both a functional seat and a visual celebration of native artistry. Its surface is crafted from handwoven natural straw, a material chosen for its cultural resonance, texture, and sustainability. Abrantes adds her own personal touch by allowing the raw qualities of the straw to remain visible, honoring its organic character. The piece embodies a contemporary interpretation of Brazilian identity, blending ancestral references with modern sensibilities. The Kariri Pouf is ideal for earthy, design-forward interiors that embrace handcrafted materials, artisanal heritage, and the subtle elegance of natural textures.
