POM POM Stool
An Authorial Study in Cylindrical Form, Parametric Joinery & Wood Carcass-Plywood Composite Engineering
Pom Pom: Cylindrical Fluidity and Tactile Salon Sanctuary
An Exploration of Rounded Forms, Softness & Playful Proportions
There is a certain charm to furniture that doesn't take itself too seriously. The Pom Pom Stool by NicChris explores this idea through a rounded, upholstered form that feels playful without being overly decorative.
Its cylindrical body is softened by a gently curved upper surface, moving away from the rigid, flat-topped silhouette of a conventional stool. The transition between the rounded top and the upholstered sides gives Pom Pom its distinctive shape, creating a compact piece that feels almost cushion-like in appearance.
What makes Pom Pom interesting is its simplicity. There are no exposed legs or elaborate details competing for attention. Instead, the design relies on its proportions, continuous upholstery, and the way the fabric follows the curves of the form. The result is a piece that feels casual and inviting while maintaining a clear, considered silhouette.
As a round upholstered stool, Pom Pom can be used as occasional seating, a footrest beside a sofa, or a small pouf in a bedroom or dressing area. Its playful character makes it an interesting addition to interiors that could use something a little less structured.

Material Authenticity & Engineering Authority
Wood Carcass & Plywood Composite Architecture
Constructed with a heavy-duty internal frame integrating a seasoned structural wood carcass and cross-laminated structural plywood webs. Controlled dehumidification seasoning neutralizes internal material tension, preventing frame deflection across air-conditioned living spaces.
Parametric Joinery & Skeletal Anchorage
Pom Pom’s internal frame utilizes parametric joinery routines to calculate load paths across radial cylindrical surfaces. Interlocking internal corner blocks and high-tensile torque anchor plates permanently eliminate frame flex, racking, and squeaks.
Multi-Density Cold-Cured Ergonomic Core
Cold-cured foam cores enveloped in breathable Dacron batting yield an immediate supple surface embrace, followed by progressive spinal cradling that prevents cushion depression and seating fatigue over years of daily enjoyment.
Artisanal Tailoring in Fabric & Premium Fabric
Panels are hand-tailored with micro-stitch precision along curved architectural seams. Available in standard designer fabrics or premium textured weaves that resist fabric pooling and age gracefully over time.
Architectural Spatial Versatility
Pom Pom is engineered for interior architects, spatial stylists, and discerning homeowners curating environments defined by sculptural fluidity and material authority. Curated as an agile companion in an expansive central pavilion, arranged in conversational clusters before a low coffee table, or positioned as a refined vanity seat in a private dressing suite, its low-profile silhouette maintains uninterrupted sightlines throughout the interior. Every stool is custom made to commission in Malaysia, accommodating bespoke dimensions and tailored fabric specifications.
Looking for cohesive interior curation? Pair the Pom Pom Stool alongside the expansive round topography of the Doremi Stool or nest it beside the low-slung architectural frame of the Tinted Stool.
