About the Item

The Cabaça Ottoman was created as the perfect companion to the Cabaça Armchair, the inaugural furniture piece by Studio NJ+, designed by Brazilian architect Nildo José. Drawing inspiration from the “cabaça”—a hard-shelled fruit traditionally used across the Brazilian sertão for decoration, music, and even water storage during drought—the ottoman honors both the practical versatility and poetic symbolism of this iconic object. With its soft, rounded form and grounded elegance, the ottoman echoes the organic curves and cultural roots of the armchair, while offering flexible use as a footrest, extra seat, or sculptural accent piece. A celebration of Brazilian heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary design, the Cabaça Ottoman is ideal for collectors and interiors designers that appreciate design with soul and story.
