The first ottoman furniture was brought to Europe from the Ottoman Empire in the late 18th century. Back in the day, the ottoman was a central piece of furniture piled with pillows. It later transformed in to a smaller shape to fit in to a corner or wall.
At Stressless, we have continued the evolving ottoman design with new pieces that feature storage, table functions and can fit underneath our modern glass tables as you can see with our Stressless Duo table.
