Know before you buy
Unlike treated leathers, vegetable-tanned leather is designed to evolve. Over time, it will soften and develop a rich, unique patina based on exposure to light and daily use, making the piece feel more personal the longer you own it.
The steel base is constructed for durability and stability. It features a high-quality finish designed to withstand regular use while maintaining its clean, modern aesthetic.
While it is primarily designed as seating or a footrest, its square shape and sturdy construction make it a functional surface for a tray. However, keep in mind that leather can be susceptible to water rings or spills if not protected.
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a high-quality leather conditioner specifically formulated for vegetable-tanned hides, and always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
No, the ottoman arrives fully assembled. It is handcrafted in Marfa, Texas, and shipped ready to be placed directly into your space.
