Theodore Buttoned Stool - Ivory

The Theodore is an 81x61cm buttoned stool upholstered in ivory woven fabric with deep button tufting across the seat surface and piped edges along the perimeter. The stool sits on a dark brown wooden frame with four tapered legs, raising the seat to 44.5cm height from the floor.

Designed as an ottoman, footrest or occasional seat for living rooms and bedrooms, the Theodore pairs with armchairs and sofas where extra seating is needed without committing floor space to a permanent chair. The 81cm width makes it wide enough to rest feet comfortably when used as a footstool in front of a two-seater sofa, or to seat two people temporarily during gatherings. The button tufting creates a quilted effect across the seat that adds visual texture to neutral interiors.

The ivory fabric is a textured woven weave with a subtle grain that catches light differently depending on viewing angle, giving the surface more depth than a plain flat fabric would. The piped edges frame the buttoned area and provide a defined border where the top surface meets the side panels. The dark wood legs contrast with the pale upholstery, grounding the stool visually and preventing it from appearing to float in lighter-coloured rooms. At 13.2kg the stool has enough weight to stay stable when used as a step or seat without needing to be anchored to the floor.

The Theodore requires simple self-assembly on delivery — the legs screw into threaded inserts in the base of the upholstered frame. The same design is available in dark taupe and forest green fabric options.

What's the seat height?

The seat sits 44.5cm from the floor once the legs are attached. This is lower than a standard dining chair (typically 45-48cm) but higher than most coffee tables, making it comfortable as a footrest or occasional seat.

Does it require assembly?

Yes. The stool arrives with the legs detached. Assembly involves screwing the four wooden legs into threaded inserts in the base of the upholstered frame — no tools beyond the supplied fittings are typically needed.

Can it be used as a seat?

Yes. The buttoned surface and 81x61cm footprint allow it to be used as an occasional seat for one or two people, though it has no back support so it suits temporary seating rather than prolonged sitting.
