my chakki crush

I have been seeing traditional Indian chakkis used as an ottoman, a stool with cushions or used as a table in designer homes lately. They look amazing in any space.

Chakkis originally are Indian mills used to grind wheat and other grains. They are beautifully carved round shaped wood with low legs holding a stone mill.

Nowadays they are also used as ottomans, stools or tables in home decor.

Upholstered cushions on chakkis.

I just love their roughness, the rich color and the texture of the wood. Loving it with or without cushions.

The home of renowned Australian artist Ken Johnson has a chakki used as a table. Sigh, I can stay here forever...

The room color and the ottoman's fabric choices are not my favorites but, this space gives me a smile for sure. Love the rich dark wood of chakki.

Cute chakki dog bed with sari cushion. I would love to have one for my dog.

I also found this gorgeous chakki during a recent visit to material culture. It was a little pricey for me. I think I will wait for a good bargain...

What do you think about chakkis? How would you use it?

UPDATE - Yay, I finally found my chakki! Check my post here .
