Ottomans
Handcrafted Ottomans and Footstools for Classic and Modern Interiors
VAMA ottomans and footstools range from compact Chesterfield footrests and practical storage ottomans to round deep-buttoned pieces and the modern Barcelona footstool. Each model is handcrafted in Tuscany, with customization options matched to its construction. Many wooden-frame models can be adapted in size and finishing details, while the Barcelona model keeps its fixed steel-frame dimensions. For coordinated traditional seating, explore our Chesterfield sofas and Chesterfield armchairs.
Choosing an Ottoman, Footstool or Storage Pouf
Chesterfield footstools
The Chesterfield Footstool, Chester Old and Chester storage model use deep-buttoned upholstery details that visually coordinate with traditional Chesterfield seating. Their different bases, feet and storage construction allow the same decorative language to serve different functions.
Deep-buttoned statement ottomans
Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Raffaello place the hand-worked buttoning at the centre of the design. Michelangelo is a square format, Da Vinci increases the footprint and lowers the profile, while Raffaello applies the same craftsmanship to a round form.
Storage ottomans
The Chester Storage Ottoman combines a buttoned lid with a finished wooden compartment. The more minimal Storage Ottoman uses a hinged lid, an internally finished structure and optional wheels, and can be adapted to non-standard dimensions.
Round and modern footstools
Giotto combines a round top with a decorative buttoned base. Barcelona is structurally different: its polished steel frame has fixed dimensions, so customization focuses on the finish rather than changing the metal framework.
Made-to-measure options
Made-to-measure availability depends on the model. Most handcrafted wooden-frame designs can be adapted after technical review, while fixed-frame or exact photographed pieces retain their stated construction. Browse the individual product sheets for the relevant options.
