Know before you buy
Yes, it functions perfectly as a standalone ottoman or a low-profile lounge seat. However, it is specifically engineered as an extension unit to integrate with other pieces in the Elephant collection for larger modular configurations.
The island features a pocket-spring core combined with premium foam, offering a balanced feel that is supportive and firm rather than overly plush or sinking.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the solid Japanese chestnut provides a durable, stable foundation for the upholstery. It is sustainably sourced and adds a warm, natural contrast to the contemporary fabric.
The upholstery is designed to mimic the soft, tactile quality of wool. It provides a pleasant, textured hand-feel while offering the high-performance durability and easy maintenance associated with synthetic fibers.
Yes, the solid Japanese chestnut frame is available in two finishes: a classic Black or a Pale Natural, allowing you to tailor the look to your existing interior palette.
The upholstery is professionally tailored to the frame. For maintenance, we recommend spot cleaning with a mild, water-free solvent or consulting a professional upholstery cleaner to preserve the integrity of the fabric.
