Description
Nino is a long, low velvet bench with a padded tobacco seat on an open gold iron frame. The seat has straight sides and fully rounded ends, and the frame follows that outline twice: once as a slim rail just beneath the cushion, and again as a matching oval at floor level, joined by slender uprights. Tobacco here is a warm burnt orange. Velvet has a short, dense pile that catches the light, so the colour looks brighter from one side and deeper from another. The bench is 106cm long, 36cm deep and 41cm high, with no back or arms.
We would start at the foot of a bed. As an end of bed bench it gives you somewhere to sit while you put your shoes on, and a place to lay out tomorrow's clothes. Before you order, measure across the end of your bed: at 106cm long, you want the bench to sit inside that width with a little space at each end. Then hold a tape at 41cm against the bed to see where the seat will sit beside the mattress. Elsewhere, it makes occasional seating in a living room, a hallway bench, or even a coffee table. In a narrow room, the 36cm depth is the figure to check: allow for it plus the space you need to walk past.
The frame is gold-coloured iron, and because it is open on every side, the floor shows through it, which stops a bench of this length from looking heavy. With no back, you can sit on it facing either way. It needs no assembly, so it is ready to use once unpacked. For styling, the burnt orange sits well with cream bedding and pale floors, or against deep green or navy walls, where the gold frame catches the light.

Frequently Asked
Will it fit at the end of my bed?
The bench is 106cm long and 36cm deep. Measure across the foot of your bed and make sure the bench sits inside that width with a little room at each end, then check you can still walk past it.
How high is the seat?
The seat is 41cm from the floor, which is also its full height, as the bench has no back or arms. If you want it to sit below the top of your mattress, measure from the floor to the top of the mattress and compare that with 41cm.
What is it made of?
The seat is a padded velvet cushion and the frame is gold-coloured iron. The full material composition is polyester 35%, sponge 30%, plywood 20% and iron 15%.
What colour is tobacco velvet?
Tobacco is a warm burnt orange, set against a gold frame. Velvet's pile catches the light, so the colour reads brighter from some angles and deeper from others, which is worth knowing if you are matching it to other furnishings.
Does it need assembling?
No. The bench needs no assembly, so it is ready to use as soon as you have taken it out of its packaging.
Can I use it in other rooms?
Yes. Its long shape suits occasional seating in a living room or hallway, and it can also stand in as a coffee table when you need one.
