The padded top section is the same in both Belt and Cross, with no straight lines but only curved surfaces that gently complement each other, gracefully floating on their base. They are distinguished by their bases, which give each of them a distinct personality: the Belt poufs round metal base plays with the concept of stability, while Cross cross-shaped wooden base is the detail that makes this accessory immediately recognisable. While their similarities make them ideal for pairing together, like two members of the same family with opposing personalities that complement each other, it is their differences and the variety of possible combinations that create a dynamic, lively and constantly changing environment.
