Oyster Pouf

Design

The Oyster pouf from Capital sits in a room with quiet confidence. Designed by Luca Scacchetti for the Pouf 2014 collection, it has a soft, flowing profile that reads contemporary without trying too hard. The circular form, roughly 45.3 inches wide and deep, feels generous yet controlled, with a low height of about 17.7 inches that keeps the look relaxed. Lines are smooth and continuous, so the piece appears almost sculpted rather than assembled.

Nothing about the design shouts. It simply anchors a seating area, ready to work as an ottoman, an extra seat, or a central accent when the rest of the room steps back.

Materials & Build

Oyster is upholstered in soft, high-quality Italian leather that gives the piece its immediate tactile appeal. The leather has a natural richness that suits both formal and casual interiors. For different atmospheres, the pouf is also available in fabric, while metal elements complete the finish palette. The mix of metals, leathers, and fabrics keeps the design flexible without diluting its character.

Attention to detail shows in the precise tailoring around the curved silhouette. Seams follow the lines of the form cleanly, so the shape remains fluid from every angle. The result is a piece that looks considered, not overworked.

Comfort & Proportions

Comfort on the Oyster pouf is immediate. The generous diameter and even, cushioned surface invite a relaxed way of sitting, leaning, or lounging with feet up. At around 17.7 inches, the seat height aligns well with most sofas, which makes it easy to use as an ottoman without disrupting the flow of a seating group.

The proportions feel balanced: substantial enough to be useful, low enough to keep conversations open across the room. It is the kind of piece that quietly encourages longer stays.

Placement & Longevity

In a living room, Oyster works as a central island between sofas and armchairs. In a more intimate lounge or suite, it becomes a relaxed focal point, softening sharper architectural lines. The simple, rounded form slips easily into both minimalist and layered interiors, which is why the design holds its own across different projects.

With its crafted upholstery and considered finishes, the Oyster pouf from Capital is made for repeated use, not just occasional display. The quality of the Italian leather, fabric options, and metal finishes gives the piece a reassuring, long-term presence in any setting.
