An upholstered footstool or low seat without a back. Originated in 18th-century Ottoman Empire; now a versatile piece used for seating, footrest, or coffee-table.
In Practice
At Extra Touch Upholstery, ottoman is part of the standard vocabulary of every commission — discussed openly with clients during the specification phase and documented in the written scope before any work begins. Whether you are restoring a family heirloom, commissioning a new custom piece, or refreshing a Lake Tahoe estate, this is the level of detail you should expect from a serious atelier.
