Bohemian Braylen Handmade Kilim Upholstered Ottoman

A round top covered in a kilim with jagged stripes of orange, rust, olive and plum, edged with a rust cord and a row of brass nailheads. At about 23 inches across and 18 inches high, it sits low like a footstool and works as extra seating or a footrest.

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 flame-like zigzags give it a warm, sunset look, and the curved wooden legs lift it into a classic Victorian silhouette. 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 curved wooden cabriole legs.

Inspired by geometric motifs in an array of lively colors, it grounds any space with style and warmth. It works as a footrest in front of a sofa, a seat in a bedroom or dressing area, or a small table with a tray on top. It brings a collected, global feel to any room.
