Japanese-style cushion 'Chikugo'

The floor cushion built as a thick woven square pouf

Woven into a thick, firm, pouf-like block with a natural finish, this square floor cushion holds its shape on the floor. Taller and more substantial than a flat pad, it holds its shape as a low stool-style seat, its tightly braided surface giving it a sturdy, handcrafted character. The dense braiding gives the block firm sides that hold their shape under repeated sitting.

The dense woven construction makes it firm and supportive, sitting you a little higher off the floor than a thin cushion. It suits a low table, a tea corner or a meditation spot, and doubles as a casual footrest or a perch for a guest.

Floor seating is central to traditional Japanese living, and a solid woven block like this bridges cushion and stool. Its natural tone and honest texture settle easily into a calm, earthy or tatami-floored room. A solid woven block has long served as both seat and low side-stool in traditional floor-living rooms.

Substantial enough to keep its form yet light enough to move around, it's an easy piece to pull out when you need extra seating and tuck away when you don't. The neutral natural finish pairs cleanly with plants and pared-back interiors. Equally at home in a tea room or a modern lounge, it adapts to whatever low-seating role you give it.

A thick, square woven pouf-style floor cushion, it brings firm, raised floor seating to a room. A cushion for anyone who wants a sturdy woven block to sit on.

Firm enough to keep its shape under repeated use yet light enough to reposition easily, it's a versatile piece that moves between seat, footrest and casual perch. Its honest, handcrafted texture brings a grounded, natural note to a room, settling in alongside plants, timber tones and a pared-back, earthy palette.
