Boho Chic Deedee Handmade Kilim Upholstered Ottoman

Wide stripes of turquoise and black run up each side of this square ottoman. At about 16 by 16 inches and 20 inches high, it is a compact cube that works as a footrest, extra seat or side table.

Kilims are flat-woven rugs that nomadic families have made for centuries to cover floors, walls and furniture, so using one to upholster an ottoman continues a very old tradition. The simple, bold stripes give it a modern, almost graphic look that works well in contemporary rooms. It is handmade by skilled artisans: a vegetable dyed, hand-woven tribal kilim wool rug is upholstered over a frame of high-quality wood and finished with small turned wooden feet.

As a multi-purpose fashion pouf, it adds dimension, color and style to your decor. Use it in a living room, at the foot of a bed, in an entryway or next to a reading chair. It adds color and texture to bohemian, eclectic, Southwestern and modern rooms.
