Marden Ottoman | Mohair Velvet & Smoked Walnut
An extraordinary expression of sculptural elegance, The Marden Ottoman brings together the sumptuous beauty of fine mohair velvet, the natural richness of American Black Walnut, and the understated brilliance of antiqued nickel.
Defined by its elongated oval silhouette, the Marden balances generous, softly rounded upholstery with a beautifully integrated timber centerpiece. Its architectural form is at once inviting and commanding, creating a distinctive focal point for interiors of exceptional character.
The upholstered perimeter is meticulously tailored in luxurious mohair velvet, selected for its dense pile, extraordinary tactile softness, and subtle interplay of light and texture. Carefully composed panels follow the ottoman's continuous curves, creating a graceful rhythm of precise stitching and beautifully considered proportions.
At its center, a recessed tabletop of richly grained American Black Walnut introduces warmth, depth, and natural artistry. Finished in a deep Smoked Walnut tone, the wood reveals subtle variations in grain and color beneath a refined satin surface. A slender antiqued-nickel surround provides a discreet metallic accent, emphasizing the relationship between the softness of the upholstery and the architectural precision of the timber.
The composition rests upon a beautifully finished walnut plinth, its recessed shadow reveal lending lightness to the substantial silhouette.
Offered in three thoughtfully curated mohair velvet colorways—Ivory, French Blue, and Mushroom—the Marden transitions effortlessly between classical European drawing rooms, distinguished private libraries, sophisticated contemporary residences, and luxury hospitality interiors.
Equally suited to use as an occasional seating piece or an elegant cocktail-table centerpiece, The Marden Ottoman is conceived as an enduring expression of exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design.
A quiet statement of extraordinary luxury, where sculptural form and the finest materials exist in perfect harmony.
CRAFTSMANSHIP & DETAILS
SCULPTURAL OVAL SILHOUETTE
An elongated, generously proportioned oval form distinguished by its softly rounded upholstered perimeter, beautifully integrated recessed tabletop, and low architectural foundation.
The continuous silhouette creates a harmonious balance between sculptural presence and inviting comfort.
EXCEPTIONAL MOHAIR VELVET
Upholstered in premium upholstery-grade mohair velvet, selected for its dense, luxurious pile, exceptional tactile softness, rich color depth, and refined, low-luster appearance.
The velvet is carefully tailored to complement the Marden's curved architecture, with precise panel alignment, restrained flat seams, and meticulous upholstery execution.
AMERICAN BLACK WALNUT
The inset tabletop features carefully selected natural American Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), prized for its beautiful grain, tonal richness, and enduring character.
A sophisticated Smoked Walnut finish deepens the wood's natural warmth while preserving the distinctive movement and individuality of its grain.
RECESSED TIMBER TABLETOP
A generous oval timber centerpiece is elegantly recessed within the upholstered perimeter, providing a practical surface for books, decorative objects, and entertaining.
The tabletop is designed with a refined satin finish and carefully finished internal walls.
ANTIQUED-NICKEL DETAILING
A slender solid-brass surround, finished in softly brushed antiqued nickel, traces the perimeter of the inset tabletop.
Its understated silver-gray character introduces a subtle architectural distinction between the upholstered body and timber surface.
SMOKED-WALNUT PLINTH
The Marden rests upon a substantial recessed walnut plinth, finished to coordinate with the inset tabletop.
