One of our best-selling ottoman designs, this striking piece features a traditional indigo batik pattern composed of striped zig-zag motifs.

The fabric is woven, dyed, and patterned using indigo plant dye and beeswax batik methods by hill tribe communities, notably the Hmong, in the Northern regions of Thailand. Deep indigo blue hues with white striped markings adorn each section, bordered by plain blue cotton cording for a professional finish. Underneath the ottoman, a large zipped section allows for easy filling, either with your chosen material or our kapok-filled ottoman insert.

A cozy and comfortable slice of ethnic textile tradition.

HILL TRIBE INDIGO BATIK POUF - DETAILS

This indigo batik pouf ottoman is made up of authentic hill tribe textiles—an indigo plant-dyed cotton—with an optional kapok-filled cotton insert.

Approximate dimensions: 18″ diameter x 14″ height (top to bottom, cord to cord). When stuffed full with an insert or filling, the dimensions are closer to 18″ x 18″.

Features a zipped lower section, allowing for hassle-free filling and maintenance.

CARING FOR YOUR POUF OTTOMAN

How do I wash the pouf / ottoman cover?

When cleaning the outer cover of your pouf, first remove any fill material or insert. Hand-wash the cover in warm water and allow the cover to air-dry naturally in the shade. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical soaps, as these can cause the natural indigo dye color to fade.

How do I wash the pouf / ottoman insert?

The pouf insert can undergo machine or hand washing just like regular cotton. However, we recommend removing the kapok filling before washing to save any headaches. While it’s possible to wash the insert with the kapok filling intact, be aware that kapok’s high density makes it very slow to dry in the sun so you could be waiting a while!

What about the kapok filling?

Kapok not only makes for an excellent filling for our ottoman and pouf cushions, but requires barely any maintenance. All you need to do it simply fluff up the kapok fibers now and again to maintain the cushion’s fullness, and adjust the amount of kapok to achieve your desired level of firmness.

TRADITIONAL INDIGO BATIK TEXTILES

Like all of our crafts, this indigo batik pouf is pieced together using authentically sourced Hmong textiles. As a result, it may have small imperfections and slight changes in colors and hues due to the natural dyeing process.

You can find more information about how hill tribe textiles are created and dyed in our journal, where we talk about the indigo plant dyeing process and traditional batik application.

KAPOK AS AN OTTOMAN FILLING

Gathered from the seed pods of the Kapok (Ceiba) tree, kapok is a soft natural fiber predominantly found in tropical regions such as Thailand and Indonesia.

Also known as silk cotton or java cotton, kapok gives your ottoman a touch of luxury. It feels good to the touch, adding a bit of opulence to your space, providing a plush feel that’s perfect for kicking back and putting your feet up. Oh, and it’s all-natural and organic, none of that synthetic stuff. No weird smells or toxins either – just good, earthy goodness.
