Linge Roset & Livingspace Create The 2010 Winter Games Ottoman

Filed under: Decor

Piece Unique is a term the watch industry likes to throw around when an item is a one-off piece. It is meant to get you excited about the brand. Often the item is already sold or promised to an important client of the brand. In this instance we are talking about a piece unique item of furniture. One that is meant to take care of your feet, or act as a quick seat for your rear. However, while Linge Roset indicated the piece is unique, there will be a whole collection of items in this style of "low seating" furniture soon.

The stylish item is the 2010 Winter Game Ottoman. Design by Noe Duchaufour-Lawrence and made by Linge Roset in collaboration with Livingspace Vancouver, it is meant to celebrate the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and has a design that is influenced by the Canadian flag.

Looking too good to put shoes on, but also too comfy to resist, the Moroccan style ottoman is made from red and white wool, with the seat being stitched with a maple leaf motif. It makes for a very chic looking quilted cover, and is among the fanciest Canada themed pieces of furniture I've ever seen (or the only one I've seen). The collection is also due to include a fixed or swiveling armchair, love seat, sofa, and a foot stool. I will have to look out for those, and they are due in stores but this summer.

Most home theaters have a set number of seats and if you have extra people over you have to drag in chairs from elsewhere or hit the floor with pillows. Salamander Designs has created a new solution, a new Jump Seat Ottoman that will be debuted at the 2008 CES in Las Vegas. The Jump Seat Ottoman opens to reveal a hide-away theater seat that can be used as an extra seat for watching movies or playing video games. The seat is padded for comfort and even has a cup holder and room for a game control. It comes in a variety of different colors and fabrics.

Have Fun, Sit Pretty, and Be Green on the Miss Gana Ottoman

Filed under: Decor

This seat made me smile the minute I saw it because it looks like something out of a Jim Henson movie. It's the Miss Gana Ottoman, and not only does it look fun to sit on but it's good for the environment too. Made completely of overstocked flip flop sandals (unworn, of course!) in a way that doesn't require further manufacturing, it's firm to sit on (even though it looks like a bean bag chair) and can be used indoors or out, although it may fade a little outside. Designed by Karen Wittmann Wilsmann, it's available in limited edition, measures 14"Hx24"Wx24"D, and costs $250.

Vividly Patterned Ottoman Provides Design Impact

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Decorating a home with patterns is often tricky. In many homes that I have seen for the estate of the day, I have seen people mix patterns on walls, window treatments and sofas with disastrous result. The overall effect can be chaotic and dizzying. However, take one small piece, cover it in a vibrant print, like the one shown here and put it in a minimalist room with solid colored furniture and instant impact. This simple footstool from Bo Concept starts at $288 and comes in a variety of fabrics that would be fugly in large doses but work perfectly in this size.
