Story
A companion within Mariposa
Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby designed the Mariposa Ottoman in 2014. Its round outline was developed to harmonise with the soft contours of the related sofas.
Two documented scales
Vitra makes the ottoman in a medium Ø520 mm version and a large Ø680 mm version. Both have the same low, circular form and a distinctive seam around the upholstered body.
