Nakki Lobby Ottoman

The Woud Nakki Lobby Ottoman Module takes the concept of modular seating and makes it actually work for spaces that get heavy use - hotels, co-working spaces, restaurants - places where furniture needs to be both inviting and practically indestructible. Designer Mika Tolvanen created this perfect square ottoman that works equally well as extra seating, a footrest, or even an impromptu coffee table when you add the mountable table accessory. At 68cm square, it's substantial enough for adults to use comfortably but compact enough that you can move pieces around to reconfigure seating arrangements based on what's happening in the space. The black painted metal legs give it this clean, architectural look that reads as intentional rather than just utilitarian.

What makes the modular approach genuinely useful is how this ottoman connects seamlessly with the other four Nakki Lobby modules - you can start with a few pieces and add more as needs change, or create completely different configurations for different events or seasons. The plywood frame with elastic belts and foam construction means it maintains its shape and comfort even with constant use from different people. Being available in five different price groups with options from Textaafoam to premium Sørensen leather means you can match both budget and aesthetic requirements. The 18.1-inch seat height works perfectly with the other modules, so everything feels cohesive whether you're creating intimate conversation clusters or long communal seating areas.

Woud developed the Nakki Lobby series specifically because public spaces have different demands than residential furniture - pieces need to look sophisticated while handling unpredictable use patterns and frequent reconfiguration. Their collaboration with Mika Tolvanen reflects this understanding that contract furniture doesn't have to look institutional or compromise on design quality. The brand focuses on creating pieces that enhance how people naturally gather and interact in shared spaces, ensuring their modular systems adapt to changing needs rather than forcing spaces to work around fixed furniture arrangements.
