A rare breed Highland cow pouffe made using beautifully patterned rare breed sheepskin, finished with deep grey leather details and a shaggy fringe. A true one-off footstool with bags of character.
The story
I’ve just come back from a trip to the Isle of Arran where I saw Highland Cows in a vast array of colours. One was Greige and I called him Alan from Arran.
I sent a photo to the workshop and by the time I returned Alan was already immortalised in sheepskin and leather.
Alan was always going to happen.
Made from short, velvety soft rare breed sheepskin with its unmistakable natural patterning, Alan is beautiful, textural and wonderfully substantial. His deep grey leather horns and nose give him character, while his soft velvety sheepskin face brings balance and warmth.
He is beefy. He is cuddly. He is unapologetically full of personality.
And like all of our rare breed pieces, he is completely one of a kind.

We source the highest quality grade sheepskin predominantly from flocks across the UK. Where we are unable to source a specific colour within the UK we import sheepskin from New Zealand. Sheep are not farmed for their skins and sheepskin is a by-product of the food industry.
Some of our stools require very basic assembly. We have a fully dedicated page to guide you on how to assemble your Baa Stool. Click on the link below to view our full guide.
We use the highest quality upholstery materials to create supportive and comfortable furniture in our workshop in North Wales, UK.

Why Baa Stool?
In 2011 I left the corporate world, moved home to rural North Wales and retrained to be an upholsterer. Two years in, during a tea break from a particularly challenging chair, I was looking at the sheep in the fields surrounding my workshop and mused ‘they look like little footstools. Hmmmmmm…sheepskin covered footstools. Oh yes!’
I spent several months developing the idea and ensuring that every detail of the product is high quality. The frames and legs are made by skilled craftsmen. The sheepskin is always premium grade and predominantly from UK flocks. I source the best upholstery materials and we upholster each Baa Stool using a mix of modern and traditional methods. This is important because I want my customers to enjoy a product that is the very best it can possibly be.
Around this exciting product a group of talented, enthusiastic and dedicated individuals gathered to form ‘Team Baa’ and a Great Little British Business was born.
I started selling Baa Stools at local artisan markets and county shows and they quickly developed a following. I noticed that the sheepskin cover upholstered on the footstools made people stop in their tracks, look closer…then, inevitably, smile. This quickly became the overall aim of every new design… to make people smile when they walk into a room.
