Industrial designer Anne-Cécile Rappa has designed Bent, a pouf made of recycled polypropylene bags knitted together.

Bent, which is also filled with used plastic bags, is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use and can be cleaned in a washing machine.

The poufs are made at a woman’s co-operative in Morocco.

I had to look up the word “pouf.” One of the definitions was “a rounded ottoman,” which I’ll assume that’s what this is used for.
With that in mind … looks comfy enough.
