Companion to the easy chair

Knoll's cut sheet BKS-291 covers the Easy Chair and Ottoman on one page and describes the easy chair as coming with a complementary ottoman. The shop sells the ottoman as an item of its own, filed with benches and ottomans, at 11 lb and fully assembled.

Round in plan

The cut sheet draws the ottoman next to a circular plan view, 26.75 in across and 16.875 in high, and the shop prints the width as a diameter. Two of Knoll's pictures place it in front of the easy chair (captions 9599 and 9707).
