Vintage Dutch Bentwood and Leather Ottoman by Sonja Wasseur, 1970s
Matching Lounge Chair Available in Separate Listing
This exceptional vintage ottoman, designed by Dutch artist and furniture designer Sonja Wasseur in the 1970s, exemplifies bold minimalist design infused with artisanal craftsmanship. Produced in limited numbers in her Amsterdam atelier, Wasseur's work is known for its striking form, attention to material, and rare availability—making this piece a true collector’s item.
The ottoman features a distinctive bentwood frame in a deep black lacquered finish, forming an elegant architectural base. Its gently curved top is upholstered in high-quality black leather, generously padded for comfort and visual softness. The leather shows a beautiful patina, reflecting the passage of time and the authenticity of its vintage origins.
Designed to accompany the iconic Wasseur lounge chair—available in a separate listing—this ottoman serves as the perfect footrest, elevating the comfort and aesthetic harmony of the set. Still, it stands confidently on its own as a multifunctional accent: whether as extra seating, a sculptural statement, or a resting place for books and trays.
Wasseur’s designs blend the brutalist ethos with a refined, modern sensibility, making this ottoman an ideal addition to interiors that favor bold lines and warm textures. Its rarity, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal make it more than just furniture—it’s a piece of design history.
