Brief History of the Bourne Ottoman

The Bourne ottoman can typically be found in grand stately homes as statement piece furniture or a focal point in many drawing room and reception interiors. It is also seen as a type of public seating, often featured in a hotel lobby, art gallery and high-end retail stores such as jewellers and fashion stores. It has been suggested that this style of ottoman also played a significant role in Victorian courting rituals, allowing couples to sit next to each other without sitting ‘next’ to each other. This multi-sectional seat is also recognised as a forerunner to today’s sectional sofas.

New Product Insight

We have developed three different styles of Bourne Ottoman to add to our furniture range. Three very different designs which will suit a range of senior living and care home environments. Ranging from a sleek contemporary style, through to a versatile ‘hybrid’ design and an elegant traditional piece. Each design can be specified for different areas giving designers the opportunity to select a statement piece whatever their style.

Senior Living Interiors

Lobbies and reception areas are great places for residents to relax and watch the world go by. Residents can enjoy a little fresh air and take in their surroundings from this ideal vantage point. Position under a feature ceiling light for added drama and accentuate the piece with a clever flooring design.

Corridor intersections are a great opportunity to enhance a large open area. Adding a circular ottoman to a corridor crossroad section can give residents an ideal resting place. Add a statement vase or plant to the centre section to complete the look.

Positioned in a waiting area in a hair salon or spa waiting area, a Bourne Ottoman will add a touch of glamour and sense of occasion and anticipation to a visit to a spa or salon.
