Story
Made to match
Fredericia's page says the Ox Ottoman is made to match the Ox Chair as well as the Queen Chair. Its fully upholstered body is raised on stainless steel legs.
A signature detail
When fabric is chosen, the page says, the sides of the ottoman can be specified in leather or in a contrasting fabric. Fredericia calls this a signature detail that can be mirrored in the piping of the easy chairs.
