The art of the Inca adorns this splendid ottoman, in its sumptuous tooled leather by the Ríos Family of Peru. Supported by fine tornillo wood legs, the leather seat is attached to the frame with ornate brass studs.

A patchwork of floral artistry brings Rajasthani elegance to this upholstered ottoman from India's Ganpat Mehta. Underscored by shades of blue, recycled swaths of fabric are diligently embroidered by women artisans in Rajasthan. Beads and sequins accent the upholstery. Featuring sturdy iron rivets, the footstool stands on acacia wood legs, which are removable.

Recycled materials will vary, so please expect variations in patterns and color placement.

Women working in textile studios in Rajasthan embroider and hand-bead the vintage fabric that adorns this colorful footstool, designed by Ganpat Mehta. Removable acacia wood legs make it easy to store, but a piece this versatile is likely to always find a use. Try it as a footstool, low table, or even extra seating at a party. Each footstool uses upcycled textiles in blue-green tones, but the unique materials ensure that no two designs will be exactly alike.

With its novel form of a vaulting horse, this handsome stool is beautiful and original. Abel Ríos skillfully combines form and function, creating an unusual, handcrafted piece of furniture. The soft seat of glowing leather is hand-tooled with bird of paradise motifs and is mounted on a frame of mohena wood, similar in grain to mahogany.
