Cassina Way Leather Ottoman

This ottoman features high-quality top-grain leather on all surfaces where the body touches. Top-grain leather is the uppermost layer of the hide, prized for its supple feel and superior durability compared to split or bonded leathers. The sides and back are upholstered in a matching high-performance polyurethane fabric, ensuring a sleek, contemporary look while offering exceptional value.

The cylindrical, tapered wooden legs are a hallmark of contemporary design, lifting the ottoman to create an "airy" feel that helps smaller rooms feel more open. Beyond the aesthetic, these sturdy legs provide a stable foundation for use as seating and offer enough clearance to make cleaning the floor underneath simple and efficient.

Based on our expertise with this material, we recommend a low-maintenance approach to keep the leather looking its best. Vacuuming regularly with a soft brush attachment prevents dust buildup in the grain. For spills or general cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of water and a mild, non-detergent soap. For long-term preservation, our care guides suggest applying a leather conditioner every 6–12 months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

Yes, the 28" x 24" square footprint provides a generous, stable surface that makes it an excellent alternative to a traditional coffee table. At 18 inches high—the standard height for most living room tables—it pairs perfectly with a decorative tray to securely hold drinks, remotes, or books. Its soft, upholstered edges also make it a safer, child-friendly option compared to hard-edged wood or glass tables.

Leather is one of the most pet-friendly materials available because it is naturally resistant to odors and does not trap pet hair like traditional fabric upholstery. The top-grain leather used here is exceptionally durable; it resists common stains and is simple to wipe clean. While all leather can be susceptible to deep punctures, minor surface scratches from claws often buff out easily or blend into the leather's natural patina over time.

Absolutely. With its compact 28-inch width, this piece is a versatile solution for smaller spaces or urban apartments where multi-functional furniture is a necessity. It can serve as a primary footrest for a sofa, a secondary coffee table, or even as informal extra seating for guests, all without overwhelming a limited floor plan.
