Blade pouf is a sculptural piece of furniture whose design combines hand-worked concrete with a thin metal sheet with a polished, reflective surface. The design arises from HESSENTIA’s exploration of materials, making the contrast between irregularity, precision and light the pouf’s principal means of expression.

The lower structure of Blade is made by shaping concrete directly onto the metal framework of the legs. Handcraftsmanship creates an irregular surface with visual and tactile variations that make each piece naturally different and one of a kind.

Concrete is the real soul of the pouf, beyond its role as a covering. Its compact volume and uneven texture create a solid presence, while traces of craftsmanship reveal the relationship between material and artisanal handwork.

The structure supports a metal sheet, available in a polished chrome or gold finish. The thin, reflective seat represents a clear contrast with the more textured, matt look of concrete.

The dialogue between the two materials defines Blade’s identity: concrete expresses tactile depth and texture variations, while metal reflects light and defines a clean line. Their different natures remain clearly visible while combined in a balanced composition.

Blade can be used as a seat or a standalone element in contemporary living areas, lounges, galleries and hospitality spaces. Its compact proportions make it suitable to be placed beside sofas and armchairs or at the centre of a composition.

Handmade in Italy, Blade interprets the contemporary furniture accessory through concrete craftsmanship and the harmony of metal. In this piece of collectible design, structure, texture and material contrast define a recognisable presence.
