Story
The U-56 and Queen Elizabeth II
Audo says the ottoman was first dubbed the U-56 and carries the name of Queen Elizabeth II, who bought the design while visiting Denmark. The headline on the page says she bought two.

On the page, the ottoman is introduced as an accent piece, classical and comfortable, for reclining in the matching Elizabeth Chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen.
