Shabby Chic Acevedo Handmade Kilim Upholstered Ottoman

Thick bands of orange and dark charcoal run around this square ottoman, with brass nailheads along the base. At about 15 by 15 inches and 20 inches high, it is a compact cube that works as a footrest, extra seat or side table.

Kilim patterns of diamonds, hooks and stripes are some of the oldest designs in weaving, passed from one generation of weavers to the next. Its striped pattern pairs well with solid sofas and adds energy to a calm room. 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.

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.
