Footstool, sofa ottoman or stool: start with the seat it serves
Most pieces on the first page of this collection share their name with a particular chair or sofa sold here. So start with the seat. If you own the chair, or are choosing one, look for the footstool named after it. If not, the freestanding stools suit any room. For the chairs themselves, start with the modern lounge chair collection.
Footstools that share a name with a lounge chair
Eleven of the 20 pieces on the first page share their name with a chair sold on this site. They are the Egg Stool, the Eames Style Lounge Chair 670 Stool in two versions, the Womb Chair Ottoman, the Barcelona Stool, the Corona Stool, the Falcon Stool and a 63 cm square ottoman. Three are Hans J. Wegner designs: the CH445 Wing Chair Stool, the Teddy Bear Stool and the OX Ottoman.
Ottomans for the modular sofas
Three are ottomans for the Comfort Style and Camaleonda Style sofas. All three are 38 cm tall, built from polyurethane foam and delivered fully assembled. The Comfort Style Sofa Ottoman measures 86 × 81 cm, the Camaleonda Style Small Ottoman 64 × 97 cm and the Camaleonda Style Sofa Ottoman 97 × 97 cm. The Camaleonda pieces are credited to Mario Bellini.
Stools that stand on their own
The other six do not share a name with a chair here. The Butterfly Stool is plywood in oak or walnut veneer, and a stainless steel stool comes in six colours. The PK33 Stool has a leather seat on stainless steel legs. The Golden Egg Stool stands on brushed cast aluminium, like the Egg Stool, and both are credited to Arne Jacobsen. The Featherston Ottoman stands on ash legs and the EA125 stool on aluminium.
Heights, footprints and weights
Heights on the first page run from 35 cm on the EA125 stool to 47 cm on the Corona Stool. Ten pieces sit between 39 and 45 cm. The Falcon Stool lists only its seat, at 41 cm. None of the 20 is a counter or bar stool; for those, see the modern bar stool collection.
Footprints vary more than heights. Of the 17 pieces that are not sofa ottomans, 14 are 51 to 66 cm wide, and the Corona Stool is the widest at 77 cm. The sofa ottomans reach 97 × 97 cm, so measure the floor in front of the sofa, not only the seat.
Weight matters if a piece will move between rooms. Four weigh 5 kg: the Egg Stool, the Butterfly Stool, the steel stool and the Featherston Ottoman. The Corona Stool weighs 19 kg, the Falcon Stool 20 kg and the Camaleonda Style Sofa Ottoman 34 kg, the heaviest on the first page. For other seating, see the chair collection.
Which footstools come in leather?
Fourteen of the 20 pieces on the first page come in leather. Five are leather only: both versions of the Eames Style Lounge Chair 670 Stool, the Barcelona Stool, the PK33 Stool and the EA125 stool. The Falcon Stool has leather cushions on a canvas sling. Eight more offer leather or wool, among them the Egg Stool, the Corona Stool and the Teddy Bear Stool.
Which stools and ottomans come in wool, bouclé or velvet?
Eight designs on the first page come in wool as well as leather: the Egg Stool, CH445 Wing Chair Stool, Teddy Bear Stool, OX Ottoman, Corona Stool, Featherston Ottoman, Womb Chair Ottoman and the 63 cm square ottoman. The Womb Chair Ottoman also comes in bouclé. The three sofa ottomans come in Alcantara, bouclé or velvet, with no leather option.
Can I buy a footstool without the matching chair?
Yes. Each footstool and ottoman on this page is listed as its own product, separate from the chair or sofa it is named after, so you can add one to a seat you already own. Before you order, compare the footstool's height and width on its product page with the seat height and width of your chair.
Is there a stool for a small space?
The Butterfly Stool has the smallest footprint on the first page, 45.5 cm wide and 30 cm deep, in oak or walnut veneer. The stainless steel stool is next at 39 cm square and 46 cm tall, followed by the PK33 Stool at 51 cm square. The three weigh between 5 and 7 kg.
Is there a stool for a kitchen counter or bar?
Not among the 20 on the first page. Every one with a listed height stands 47 cm or lower, well below a counter or bar seat. Stools for kitchen counters and bars are in the modern bar stool collection, where seat heights run from 58 to 76 cm and one stool adjusts. Each of those product pages lists its seat height.
Do the stools and ottomans arrive assembled?
Eleven of the 20 pieces on the first page arrive fully assembled, including the three sofa ottomans, the Barcelona Stool, the PK33 Stool and the Falcon Stool. Five need only their feet fitted: the Egg Stool, Golden Egg Stool, CH445 Wing Chair Stool, OX Ottoman and Corona Stool. Both versions of the 670 stool list assembly as required. The Butterfly Stool and steel stool list it as not applicable.
How do I clean the stools and ottomans?
Each product page lists its own care line. The leather pieces, such as the Barcelona Stool, PK33 Stool and EA125 stool, list dusting and a leather cleaner. The Egg Stool, OX Ottoman and Corona Stool list spot cleaning. The sofa ottomans in Alcantara, bouclé or velvet list dusting and a light vacuum, and the steel stool a dust cleaner.
Are the stools in stock?
Some pieces and finishes are held in stock for faster dispatch, including several colours of the steel stool, some Camaleonda Style Sofa Ottoman finishes and one Egg Stool finish. Each product page shows its current lead time under the Add to Cart button, and it can change with the cover you choose, so check the version you want before you order.
Who designed these stools and ottomans?
The product pages credit pieces to Arne Jacobsen, Hans J. Wegner, Eero Saarinen, Mario Bellini, Mies van der Rohe, Poul Kjaerholm, Poul Volther, Sigurd Ressell, Grant Featherston and Sori Yanagi, among others. These are reproductions: each product page states that the item is not manufactured by or affiliated with the original designer or associated parties.
