The Base Corner Ottoman is a square upholstered ottoman designed to connect and complement other pieces in the Base Modular Range. Its 700 mm square footprint fills corner positions naturally within seating arrangements, helping schools create cohesive, well-defined spaces in common areas, reception spaces and collaborative learning environments. Available in three heights and a wide choice of upholstery, with optional castors for flexible repositioning.
The Base Corner Ottoman is designed to work as part of a larger Base Modular Range arrangement, filling the corner positions that couches and rectangular ottomans leave open. Its square 700 mm footprint sits comfortably at the junction of two pieces, creating a coherent seating cluster without gaps. This makes it particularly useful in common areas, reception spaces and senior learning hubs where schools want to create defined, purposeful seating zones from modular components.
Used on its own, the Corner Ottoman provides a practical, comfortable seat for informal seating in corridors, libraries and breakout areas. Three height options, 360 mm, 410 mm and 460 mm, allow it to be matched to different age groups and tables throughout the school. Optional castors, including two braked castors, support easy repositioning when layouts need to change.
Built on 89 mm Silver Star powder-coated steel legs with a high-quality, high-density elephant foam seat, it is designed for long-term use in busy education environments. Upholstery options across vinyl, textile and the Ako fabric range allow schools to coordinate colour and finish with other Base pieces and with the wider learning space.

The Base Corner Ottoman supports flexible, comfortable seating in shared learning and social spaces. When used within a Base Modular Range arrangement, it helps schools create coherent seating clusters that give students a defined, purposeful place to gather, discuss and collaborate. Filling corner gaps in modular arrangements avoids awkward, underused spaces within a seating zone.
Used as a standalone piece, the Corner Ottoman provides an accessible, low-profile seating option in corridors, libraries and breakout areas, giving students a comfortable and informal alternative to task seating during unstructured time. Optional castors allow staff to reconfigure spaces quickly to suit different activities throughout the day.
