Raffaello takes the buttoned ottoman in a circular direction. Its curved perimeter provides a different centre for a seating group than a square footstool, with upholstery visible around the complete form.
Design, proportions and details
Compare the diameter with the clear space between sofas and chairs, leaving room to walk around the piece. The finished height should also relate to the seat used for foot support, rather than being chosen solely for its appearance.
Hand-shaped folds create texture across the padded top and sides. The surface is upholstered rather than a rigid tabletop, so the rounded form and buttoning should be considered when deciding how it will be used within the room.
The round footprint can soften a seating arrangement built around rectangular sofas. Mark out the full diameter and clear gaps around Raffaello, taking the chair arms and sofa cushions into account where they project towards the centre of the group.
Raffaello applies continuous deep-buttoned workmanship to a completely round form. The upholstery is worked around the circumference as well as across the top, creating a continuous decorative surface without a conventional straight base.
Round deep buttoning is technically demanding because the folds must remain regular while following the curve. The model can be customised to order, subject to keeping the geometry and button spacing technically balanced.

Your upholstery and configuration
Choose Raffaello’s covering, colour and compatible proportions with VAMA. Agree the diameter and height together if changing the size, so the rounded outline remains balanced beside the seating.
