Pukka Large ottoman
The Pukka collection embodies exceptional comfort and innovative design, drawing inspiration from the iconic UP50 collection by Gaetano Pesce in 1969. Inspired by the resilience of a sponge, Yabu & Pushelberg reinterpret this concept with a soft, organic, and feminine touch, creating a piece that exudes sensual comfort.
Meticulous stitching, ultra-flexible foams, and precisely tensioned lines demanded expert craftsmanship to achieve flawless upholstery. This was made possible using exceptionally stretchable fabrics, particularly the new Gentle fabric—a 100% wool stretch velvet—that wraps the form perfectly, enhancing its inviting and sculptural presence.

The seat is composed of high resilience polyurethane Bultex foam (38 kg/m3 – 3.6 kPa et 38 kg/m3 – 2.8 kPa) clad in ultra-flexible polyurethane foam (50 kg/m3 – 1.8 kPa)
