Halloween decorations? The Pumpkin Pouf arrives, and not only for the night of the Saints

The traditions of "Dolcetto or Scherzetto" handed down in some villages of Puglia.

As a gift for Halloween we have decided to tell you some stories about our popular traditions with the hope of making you look at this party with a different soul.

Maybe you weren't aware of it, but there are local customs very close to those of Anglo-Saxon countries , which are still celebrated on the night between October 31st and November 1st. Did you know that many carved pumpkins are placed, as an ornament, in every corner of streets and squares even here in Southern Italy? Lights and shades reminiscent of autumn are reflected in the eyes of adults and children who stroll along the avenues during the night of the "Fucacoste" and "Cocce Priatorje".

This event which has always been dedicated to the deceased takes place in Orsana, a splendid and ancient village in Puglia. If we move to San Nicandro Garganico, near Foggia, instead we find something very similar to "trick or treat", which sees children as protagonists. The latter in their wanderings, knocking from door to door, recite nursery rhymes in exchange for gifts.

However, the eve of every saint lends itself to more frightening stories near Taranto, where it is told of a real coming and going of souls who, according to legend, wander through the streets of the city until Epiphany. Why not revive this atmosphere by decorating your home with purple and orange, shades that symbolize this holiday?

Cocoons | The pumpkin pouf for Halloween night

Drawing inspiration from an 80s science fiction classic, we thought we'd give you a hand for this special night full of thrills, designing two fantastic furnishing accessories that you can't miss: Cocoon and Cocoon Soft, available in eco-leather or fabric . Poufs that resemble a pumpkin both in shape and color, perfect in a "trick or treat" atmosphere.

The Cocoon Soft pouf has completely removable covers : this means that you can dress it in orange on the most awaited night of the year to decorate your living room and give it "new life" by purchasing a pouf cover in another color or fabric at another time!

Curiosity: the Cocoon Soft pouf was chosen by LS Service Production for the filming of the film "Glassboy" produced by Solaria Film Roma and directed by Samuele Rossi, with the extraordinary participation of the fantastic Loretta Goggi. So an all-Italian film for a 100% Made in Italy design!

Don't miss this opportunity! Let yourself be carried away by the magic of Halloween, break the mold by reinventing your decor with us. The kids will go crazy! To make them happy, don't forget to carve some pumpkins, insert cobwebs and bats on the walls and above all buy lots and lots of sweets. What are you waiting for? Celebrate this Halloween with us!
