The Salonpoef: combines the best elements of a hocker and a coffeetable: the softness and warmth of fabric and the elegance of tablelegs. You can use it as a coffeetable or sit on it with multiple people. It’s an eye-catcher in every enviroment, indoor as well as outdoor. For example: home, office, hotels, beachclubs and yachts.

The Salonpoef is designed and handmade by Mike and Sandra. With a birchwood frame and solid stainless steel legs, it’s build to last.
The legs were designed to ensure the Salonpoef is lower in hight than the seating of a couch. The combination of the legs and the hight of the Salonpoef optical enlarges the space where it is placed. You can see the floor underneath and the items behind it. The legs were handforged by a blacksmith and polished like a mirror.
The fabric is printed by Print Unlimited, and has best of both criteria: it’ s strong but also fine enough to show the Milkmaid in all her splendor.
